Question 1

What is The Play Project?

Accepted Answer

The P.L.A.Y. Project is an evidence-based early intervention model that trains parents to deliver effective, child-led play-based interactions. It takes an individualized, developmentally informed approach focused on social-emotional development and connection, empowering parents as the primary agents of change in their children's development.

Question 2

How is this different from traditional therapy?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional therapy where a professional works directly with your child in clinical sessions, The Play Project trains YOU as the parent to be the intervention. This means your child receives intensive, consistent support every day through natural play interactions, not just during scheduled therapy sessions.

Question 3

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Currently, I do not accept insurance directly. However, I can provide documentation that you may be able to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I recommend checking with your insurance provider about out-of-network benefits for autism intervention services.

Question 4

What ages do you work with?

Accepted Answer

For Play Project consulting, I work primarily with young children (typically ages 18 months to 6 years), as early intervention is most effective during these developmental years. For language arts tutoring, I work with elementary and middle school students.

Question 5

How long until we see results?

Accepted Answer

Every child is unique, so timelines vary. Many families begin to see positive changes in their interactions within the first few weeks of implementing the strategies. Significant developmental progress typically becomes more apparent over 3-6 months of consistent practice.

Question 6

Can we do virtual consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While in-person visits are ideal for the initial assessment and coaching sessions, I offer virtual follow-up sessions and support for families who need flexibility. For language arts tutoring, both in-person and virtual sessions are available.

Question 7

Do you offer tutoring for children with special needs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. My background in speech-language pathology and autism intervention means I'm experienced in adapting teaching methods to meet each child's unique learning needs. I create individualized lesson plans that work with your child's strengths.

Question 8

What's included in language arts tutoring sessions?

Accepted Answer

Each tutoring session is customized to your child's needs and may include reading comprehension practice, phonics and decoding work, writing exercises, vocabulary building, and homework support. I provide regular progress updates and adjust the approach based on what works best for your child.
