Play, autism and neurodiversity in early childhood: insights from research

A webinar with Prof Jenny Gibson, Play & Communication Lab, PEDAL, University of Cambridge

Play is a crucial aspect of early childhood. In this webinar we will explore the latest research on autistic play and consider how different types and preferences in play can support child development and wellbeing. Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on their own practice in supporting neurodivergent children and share their experiences with others. We will also discuss evidence gaps in this area from the perspective of ECEC educators and explore possibilities for future collaboration.
