[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have you looked in to the Hanen Method of speech therapy? It may help you to see ways that he is actually engaging with you that can lead to play/reciprocal communication. The PT's comment that she's concerned about his lack of play is kind of weird, I think. The main point is developing his communication skills and ability to interact with the environment. OTs (and maybe PTs too) can be a little woo woo and one of the woo things is about "the necessity of play" etc etc. [/quote] Please don’t minimize the importance of play. That is how children learn and develop. There is nothing “woo woo” about it. [/quote]
