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

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!
