Can you imag­ine your child …

• Tak­ing turns with­out tantrums?
• Join­ing in a game?
• Hav­ing a con­ver­sa­tion with a friend?

Mak­ing friends should be child’s play. If your child has autism or another behav­ioral dis­abil­ity and strug­gles with fol­low­ing rules, tak­ing turns, or just build­ing friend­ships, Play­Date can help.

What is PlayDate?

Friend­ship and rela­tion­ship build­ing are skills; like any­thing else, they must be learned and the skills of friend­ship can be taught. And, as with any other skill, some chil­dren, espe­cially those with autism and other behav­ioral dis­abil­i­ties, need extra help to learn. Pro­vid­ing explicit oppor­tu­ni­ties to learn and prac­tice spe­cific social skills is impor­tant for these children.

That’s where Play­Date comes in. We offer a full range of ser­vices designed to help chil­dren with autism or other behav­ioral dis­abil­i­ties who strug­gle with social inter­ac­tion. Our goal is to help every child acquire the skills to nego­ti­ate daily inter­ac­tions and build relationships.

Play­Date ser­vices are avail­able to meet the needs of every child, includ­ing yours. Our stu­dents have a range of diag­noses or no diag­no­sis at all. The only cri­te­ria for inclu­sion is your child’s poten­tial to ben­e­fit from the Play­Date experience.
