For family/whānau, early childhood teachers, health professionals, or anyone else living or working with young children with autism.

Way to Play is a fun one-day introduction to playing joyously with a child on the autism spectrum.

Way to Play has been specifically designed for people directly involved with a young child with autism. Adults are often left bewildered when trying to play with the child. The course offers some simple, easy to use, practical strategies to begin playing joyously together. Having fun playing together is the focus. This course is supported by the Way to Play website, where further learning and support can be found after the course.

Autism New Zealand is free to join.  

Way to play online consists of pre-course work (A Workbook and video with instructions) sent out 2 weeks prior to the date. A zoom link will be sent out one week prior. On the day, attendees are encouraged to attend a zoom Q & A session with our educators to learn and ask specific questions. This is ideal for those who can not make it to an in-person course. The same content is covered - just in a self-directed way. Please check your SPAM if you have not received emails from us. less
