Abstract

Abstract Way to Play is an approach that supports adults to promote the engagement of young children with autism spectrum disorder through play. The Ministry of Education in New Zealand has collaborated with Autism New Zealand to ensure the sustainable delivery of Way to Play within Auckland’s early learning services by training early intervention staff to both use Way to Play and to coach and support other adults in its use. Key strategies that form the foundation of Way to Play are described, and an outline of the evidence base for these strategies is provided. Preliminary data demonstrate the effectiveness of the training approach and the perceived impact for young children with autism and their parents/carers and teachers. Case examples illustrate how Way to Play is used across home and educational settings to successfully support the engagement and inclusion of young children with autism. Suggestions are made for a comprehensive investigation of program effectiveness.

增加自闭症谱系障碍儿童的参与:成人训练计划的初步调查

“玩耍的方式”是一种支持成人通过玩耍来促进患有自闭症谱系障碍的幼儿参与的方法。新西兰教育部与新西兰自闭症协会合作，通过培训早期干预工作人员使用《玩耍的方式》，并指导和支持其他成年人使用《玩耍的方式》，确保《玩耍的方式》在奥克兰的早期学习服务中可持续地提供。本文描述了构成《游戏之道》基础的关键策略，并概述了这些策略的证据基础。初步数据证明了培训方法的有效性以及对自闭症幼儿及其父母/照顾者和教师的感知影响。案例说明了如何在家庭和教育环境中使用《玩耍之道》来成功地支持自闭症儿童的参与和包容。提出了对项目有效性进行全面调查的建议。
