At Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies 3 of our qualified Play Therapists are specialist trained in Autplay Therapy- a trademark registered therapy intervention by Robert Jason Grant that is a Neurodiversity informed and affirming practice in child and therapy work.
In the paper - Neurodiversity Affirming Care in Child and Play Therapy by Robert Jason Grant he highlights that -
"Neurodivergent children ( Autistic, Sensory differences, ADHD, learning difficulties, HSP, PDA, gifted etc) are not in play therapy simply because they are neurodivergent. They are in therapy because they have needs such as anxiety, regulation challenges, trauma issues, social needs, parent child relationship issues, or other mental health needs.
Neurodivergence is understood as part of a child's identity, requires different methods of implementing child and play therapy to align with the child's neurotype.
This understanding should inform how the child's neurotype is described and supported in the therapeutic plan"
