The Importance of Play:Play fosters Self Concept, emotional engagement with others, and the ability to self regulate. It facilitates the child’s understanding of the environment (i.e.

the structure and routine, rules, and expectations of

said environment). It provides social referencing

through empathy.

A Socially Speaking™ Seminar by Penina Rybak MA/CCC-SLP © 2016 Socially Speaking LLC

The Impact of Delayed Onset of Play Skills:Reduced self regulation skills, i.e.

difficulties with attention (Time on Task-TOT) and Emotional Attunement, causing:

1. Reduced ability to “live in the moment” & develop episodic memory, through perceptions gleaned from The Five

Senses2.Reduced comprehension of time passing and time concepts(seasons, sequencing,

verb tense) 3. Disorganized Theory Of Mind (TOM)

resulting in difficulty with problem solving & Executive Functioning

FAQ: Why integrate music toys and apps?

Music is a crucial intervention tool for those who have difficulty with TOM and& pragmatics, resulting in difficulty recognizing/expressing feelings, and showing empathy.

Music facilitates self regulation. Music facilitates Emotional Attunement, through engaging the brain's ability to perceive tempo of feelings.

Music also facilitates Motoric Tempo through Body Awareness and Proprioception. It helps child with special needs perform time sequenced movements (rhythm), which can be an areaof real challenge regarding motor, play, & communication skills.

Expressing Feelings: Penina’s Pointers

FAQ: Why integrate drawing toys and apps?

Arts & Crafts facilitates Body Awareness andProprioception.

Art is a “whole body experience” using multi- sensory learning to build “muscle memory” through engaging The Five Senses.

Arts & Crafts facilitates episodic memory and subsequent recall of concepts/ideas.

Art is FUN and fosters Emotional Attunement.

FAQ: Why is problem solving such a crucial

skill?

Problem solving stems from having a Theory of Mind and being oriented to person/place/time. It incorporates the ability to access episodic memory re: feelings, and semantic memory re: past events of how things unfolded. It is the culmination of acquiring a diverse vocabulary, a sense of humor, and the ability to transition from being a “Me” to “We” as needed.

The Five Step Hierarchy1. Awareness that a problem exists, and why it exists 2. Verbalizing the problem to an adult instead of “acting out” 3.

Temple’s Take

Review: Which Materials to Use?

Verbal Rejection Difficulty is a Self Regulation Issue, due to the EF “Emotional Control”:

PECS: “no”, “stop sign” ASL/signing “bye” Verbal Speech: role play: “no”, “don’t want it”, “later” etc.

A Socially Speaking™ Seminar by Penina Rybak MA/CCC-SLP © 2016 Socially Speaking LLC

Page 17: Socially Speaking 2 Handout - Amazon S3...Socially Speaking ™ Seminars Socially Speaking™ Part 2: Autism & Social Skills Practical Strategies Involving Play & Pre-Literacy FLASHA

Social Initiation Difficulty is a Body Awareness Issue, due to SPD, requiring review of body parts and physical humor,

including exaggerated affect on the clinician’s face:

Greetings: toy phones, real cell phone calls Eye Contact: REPLAYS™, Mr. Potato Head™, arts&crafts Role play with sock puppets and googly eyes Inanimate Object Reference: Use Humor! Pretend to talk to

the object child wants and is looking at, instead of you

A Socially Speaking™ Seminar by Penina Rybak MA/CCC-SLP © 2016 Socially Speaking LLC

Review: Which Materials to Use?

Sharing& Turn Taking Difficulty is an Emotional Attunement Issue, due to Reduced TOM:

One Toy with Physical Border: tire swing, slide“Part/Whole Toys”: stringing bead toys, mini-bowling set Toys evoking Empathy: dolls, doll house

Page 18: Socially Speaking 2 Handout - Amazon S3...Socially Speaking ™ Seminars Socially Speaking™ Part 2: Autism & Social Skills Practical Strategies Involving Play & Pre-Literacy FLASHA

Respecting Boundaries Difficulty is a Body Awareness Issue, due to SPD and Reduced TOM, requiring physical activities, physical humor, visual supports, and exaggerated affect on the clinician’s face when giving constructive criticism:

Physical Activities: climbing stairs, trampoline, building forts Physical Humor & Visual Supports: REPLAYS™, YouTube™, Social Stories™

with correct/incorrect photos Construct Toys: Legos™, Tinker Toys™, peg & gear toys Inanimate Object Reference: Dycem™ and duct tape (markers)

A Socially Speaking™ Seminar by Penina Rybak MA/CCC-SLP © 2016 Socially Speaking LLC

Review: Which Materials to Use?

Problem Solving Difficulty is an EF Issue With Flexibility and Metacognition, requiring moving from physical humor to linguistic, visual supports, role play, and the “Social Autopsy” using video footage of the actual student performing correctly and incorrectly in various settings:

Creating Obstacles: give puzzles & shape sorter missing pieces, give broken toys, pretend to misunderstand/ignore requests

Humor & Visual Supports: books, what’s funny? wrong? games Cooperative Play Toys: pretend tea party, blocks, board games The Socially Speaking™ Problem Solving Template
