The P.L.A.Y. Project
Helping your child grow through connection and fun!
What is it?
The P.L.A.Y. Project is a relationship-based and developmental intervention based on the first 6 levels of Stanely Greenspan’s DIR/Floortime model It is coaching approach that allows caregivers to become a vital part of their child’s progress. It was developed to address the problem of too few providers (i.e., it’s efficient), it is cost effective (possibly free through preschool services), it empowers families, and is EVIDENCE BASED.
What it entails
Caregivers become part of the progress and received individualized coaching to understand your child’s development, identify your child’s sensory motor preferences, learn how to enter your child’s comfort zone activities, learn specific strategies, techniques and activities to help your child, and see your child and their play through a whole new lens!
What does it look like?
Services can be provided through preschool/early intervention (Andrea is an approved provider for Livingston and Monroe Counties) or through private pay. P.L.A.Y. Project Methods, Techniques and Activities are coaches during regular speech-language sessions. This methodology strengthens the foundational skills of interaction, engagement, and communication.
Sessions are videotaped at least once a month and coaching takes place in front of the camera (modeled for caregivers), behind the camera (in real time) and in written and video feedback.
