"Robert Jason Grant contributes once again to the mental health field. In his new book, he offers structured and practical interventions grounded in the AutPlay® framework. Mental health therapists who want to increase their confidence and competence when working with neurodivergent children and adolescents will find this book extremely

valuable".

Tony Lai, MA, LPC, RPT-S(TM)

"Play Interventions for Neurodivergent Children and Adolescents: Promoting Growth, Empowerment, and Affirming Practices is a well-balanced and detailed book for anyone who is interested in providing fun and play based interventions for the neurodivergent client. Dr. Robert Jason Grant uses a concentrated lens to clearly show the importance of empathy and understanding when implementing play interventions with neurodivergent children. He details specific techniques to help with clients' social navigation, regulation, and feeling identification needs, as well as valuable information on the neurodiversity paradigm and ableist practices. This will be my new, go-to book; not only when working with my neurodivergent clients, but also when checking within to enhance my therapist abilities"!
