This course was excellent because it provided a clear, research-based framework connecting play to language, social-emotional, and literacy development. Dr. Lisa Audet’s examples and clinical applications made complex developmental concepts easy to relate to real therapy settings. The integration of motor, social, and cognitive stages helped me design more meaningful, play-based interventions that foster engagement, communication, and learning across ages and abilities.

As a speech-language pathologist who is focused on play-based intervention in preschool with children with autism and other delays I appreciated this course, which put together what I have been doing and inspired me.

The course reinforced foundational play theory, emphasizing that children learn best when engagement is meaningful and developmentally appropriate. I appreciated the strategies for matching activities to a child’s play abilities across cognitive, social, and language domains. The emphasis on responding thoughtfully to different types of play, whether functional, symbolic, or exploratory, was particularly useful for fostering communication and problem-solving.

This was a fabulous series that was more than merely well-organized. It was constructed with care and appropriately sequenced. I have used a lot of play in my clinical work but did not realize how much is known about it and how powerful it can be. I was amazed to learn about the alignment of stages of play development with motor skills development and the development of social skills and language/cognitive aspects. The presenter used a sing-song voice during segment 3, but spoke well overall.
