Autism Play Therapist, Carolina Kaiser to Hold Workshop at Sofia University
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) August 01, 2013 -- Sofia University will host a three day workshop, led by expert autism play therapist Carolina Kaiser. The workshop titled “Teach through Play: A transformative, relationship-based approach to autism treatment” will take place on Friday, August 16, from 10am-6pm, Saturday, August 17, from 10am-6pm, August 18, from 10am-5pm. Kaiser has worked with families for over 12 years, and has therefore seen the power of integrating a variety of approaches to create individualized programs for children across the autism spectrum.
Teach Through Play is an interactive program using a home based child centered approach to autism treatment, where joining a child’s repetitious and exclusive activities is the key to powerful growth and connection.

During the workshop, Kaiser will focus on the following fundamentals:
• Follow your child’s lead to create a more solid foundation for interaction
• Celebrate connection to create more open doors for interactive play
• Identify your child’s motivations and create a fun, play-based curriculum for development
• Inspire your child’s growth in all areas of social development
