The PLAY in PLAY Project stands
for Play and Language for Autistic Youngsters. |
Researchers at the University of Michigan may have found a way to
break through to autistic children.
The answer is an intensive program that's based in play.
In their study, U of M researchers found that half of children in
the play project had good to excellent success, and one third made
fair progress. For parents of autistic children, any improvement is
very encouraging.
The play approach is relatively inexpensive, costing about $2,500 a
year per child.

PLAY Project Golf Outing
In an effort to aid those families involved in the program, the PLAY
Project and the Jamie Katschor Scholarship Fund will sponsor a
charity golf outing at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 27, at the U-M Golf
Course.
The charity golf outing is $150 per person (tax deductible) and will
include 18-holes of golf, a cart, food, drinks and prizes.
Registration for the event is due by Monday, March 31. For more
information about the charity golf outing, call Christy Pratt at
(734) 615-3338.
