Play Prep is an Autism preschool readiness program that is designed to nurture the development of children aged 18-42 months with known or suspected Autism and/or developmental delays.
Play Prep targets speech development, sensory processing, and early learning. With a focus on building social motivation, communication, and appropriate social play, our program prepares children for a smooth transition to traditional preschool and early childhood environments.
