Season 1
Episode 80
Published 2 years, 7 months ago
Description
A listener from the UK emailed me with questions about a client on the autism spectrum. She is feeling "stuck" and was looking for some advice.
In this episode, I talk about the following topics:
- Progress with ASD kids takes longer
- The proper use of "I wonder" statements
- Play with kids on the spectrum looks different
- Feeling "pressure" to get results
- Staying true to the child-centered model (don't deviate!!)
- However small, document progress with the presenting problems
- Never child-centered play therapy - plus, something else!
