The Power of Play:
Therapeutic Learning for
Children with Autism
First Bridge School is excited to announce our FREE webinar: “The Power of Play: Therapeutic Learning for Children with Autism“.
Play is not just fun. It is fundamental.
For children with autism, play can be a powerful gateway to learning, communication, emotional regulation, and connection. In this webinar, we will explore how therapeutic play is used at First Bridge Education to support each child’s unique developmental journey.
This session is ideal for parents, SENCos, and early years practitioners who want to understand:
- Why play is essential to early development, especially for neurodivergent children
- How therapeutic play supports language, social skills, and emotional growth
- What structured play looks like in an ABA-integrated setting
- How to use playful learning strategies at home or in educational environments
You will come away with practical ideas, greater confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the role of play in supporting autistic children to thrive.
Join us to discover how play can become one of the most meaningful tools in your child’s development and how to harness it with purpose.
Presented by our School Principal and Clinical Director, Mikaela Green, MSc., BCBA, this webinar is perfect for:
- Early Years Practitioners & Educators
- SENCOs & Inclusion Leads
- Childcare Providers
- Health Visitors & Allied Health Professionals
- Parents and Carers interested in child development
- Local Authority and SEND professionals
Join us online on Thursday, March 12th at 6 pm!
