Author(s): Dr. Alexei Petrova and Dr. Elena Ivanov
Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction, making early intervention critical in improving long-term outcomes. Play-based therapy has emerged as a promising approach to addressing these social challenges, offering a structured yet flexible therapeutic method for enhancing social skills in autistic pre-schoolers. This review explores the effectiveness of play-based therapy in fostering social development, focusing on various methodologies, including Floor time, Integrated Play Groups (IPG), and Pivotal Response Training (PRT). By synthesizing existing literature, this paper evaluates the efficacy of these interventions and their implications for clinical practice.
