The program fuses group-based intervention and facilitated playgroups. It is delivered by a trained Playgroup Queensland therapist in a safe, welcoming environment. Parents get involved by assuming the role of ‘expert’ of their child throughout each session.
The interventional framework PlayAble based on is the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM). ESDM is an evidence-based, comprehensive, play-based approach to teaching that focuses on helping children with ASD develop social communication skills, play skills, relationship and language.
