Intensive Early Childhood Program
Because play works! The Intensive Early Childhood Program for children ages 2-6 years with a diagnosis of Autism is a half or full-day program held at the Play Works Center for Autism Services! Motivation is critical to building new skills, and research shows that children learn most naturally through play, because play IS a child's work! Play Works offers an evidence-based, collaborative model where all outpatient pediatric disciplines work together for the best individualized treatment for each learner (speech, OT, PT, ABA). The Intensive Early Childhood Program offers opportunities for exposure to neurotypical peer models during playgroups! We are housed in a brand new state of the art clinic with 5 individual therapy rooms, a fine motor/art room, and a large sensory motor gym!

Our expert speech-language pathologists work one-on-one with your child to assess and address the most common difficulties in language and communication development.
A child’s “occupation” is to play, learn, and grow, and we help children engage, participate, and gain confidence in themselves through functional and fun play and learning sessions.
Whether your child has experienced injury, disease, or other difficulties, Play Works can help them build strength, motor function, balance, and coordination in fun, creative ways.
More than just “teaching a child to eat,” our team works closely with parents and children to determine feeding difficulties and how to make the entire process easier for everyone.
Telehealth allows us to connect anywhere with secure and convenient appointments that save you time and hassle. There's no need to deal with traffic when you can schedule and attend your appointments directly from a laptop or mobile device.
