80 | Q&A: What To Do When You're "Stuck" With A Client On The Autism Spectrum

Play Therapy Podcast: A Master-Class in Child-Centered Play Therapy · Aug 3, 2023 · 19m

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!
