Take Out the Toys is the second booklet in the Make Play ROCK Series for parents of children with ASD and other communication difficulties. This resource focuses on expanding "functional play" ability, ( early play involving conventional or expected actions using toys). Early toy play of children with ASD differs from typically developing children. These powerful intervention techniques engage children, so the next functional steps can be planned and supported, to help children learn to imitate, enabling them to transfer new learned skills to a variety of toys and play partners.
