How you help |
Play-Place for Autism & Special Needs Center needs patient, caring, smiling volunteers that love children! Our center is for children and young adults affected by autism and other special needs. This is a community-wide volunteer effort to service the over 8,000 tri-county area families. |
About us |
Play-Place’s unparalleled destination of education, therapy, recreation and support will impact the unemployment rate of people with disabilities as well as help shave the nation’s $137 billion per year cost of autism. Through a unique play-powered environment, combining education and recreation with a variety of social, occupational and physical therapeutic overtones, Play-Place’s one of a kind model will be a revolutionary compliment to the autism equation of intervention and awareness. Designed to promote cognitive and social development, sensory integration, balance & coordination, endless hours of excitement, as well as professional support services and respite relief for parents and siblings, our curriculum will service all ages. |
