Be The Best Early Interventionist
For A Child With Autism

Be The Expert Your Child (or Student) Needs

When you understand the stages of development, you’ll better understand how to help each child. The kid(s) you work with will have the opportunity to grow more when you play at the right level.

Techniques You Can Use Anytime, Anywhere

Once you get the techniques down, they’ll become so natural you’ll use them when you’re not even thinking about it. You won’t have to find extra time, you’ll be able to implement them in all your regular daily activities

Engage Kids With Adaptable Activities

Because each child goes through the stages of development at a different pace, you’ll be able to easily adapt activities to target specific skills that the child you’re helping is working on.

LEARN TO PLAY WITH PURPOSE
AND THEN PLAY TO HELP KIDS PROGRESS

Play With Joy helps kids with developmental delays grow through play-based learning

STEP #1
Get The Developmental Progress Sheet

Keep track of a child’s developmental progress with this self-graphing matrix. Find out where a child is developmentally, and what skills you would like to work on next. Then continue to track progress as you go.

STEP #2
Decide How I Can Best Help You

After you receive your progress sheet, I’ll continue to send you tips, activities, and strategies. If you’d like to fast track the information, and have access to more tutorials, you can become a Member of the Early Intervention Tutorials

I WANT TO HELP EACH CHILD
REACH THEIR POTENTIAL

HELLO! I’m Joy. I began working with people with developmental disabilities back in 1998 (wow that makes me feel old). In 2007, I started specializing in working with young kids on the autism spectrum and training parents and educators.

I know that it can get overwhelming and confusing trying to figure out what type of intervention is best for a child. Whether you are a parent, educator, or therapist sometimes you have to do a lot of trial and error to find out what works.

Over the years, I have received a lot of different trainings, certifications, and degrees. Let me tell you why I have chosen to focus on play-based, relationship-based, and developmental approaches to early intervention.

I am a strong believer in the power of play for kids. There is so much that can be taught through play no matter where a child is developmentally. I also believe that relationships (especially family relationships) are so very important.

Intervention doesn’t have to be complicated. There are simple adjustments that we can all make in our interactions that can help the kids we’re working with have more opportunities of growth. There are also ways to implement different strategies in every day activities, so you don’t have to find extra time in your day (that we all know doesn’t exist anyways).

I wish I could be everywhere, helping everyone (honestly, I would definitely choose teleportation as my superpower, if I could). As I’ve thought about how I can help more people, I realized that I can have information available that will help families everywhere and anytime. That is why I decided to create the Early Intervention Tutorials 🙂
