The PLAY Project

An evidence-based, parent training program for professionals to help children with autism

The PLAY Project was founded in 2001 by Richard Solomon, MD, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Solomon developed this program in response to the need for evidenced-based intensive early intervention for children with autism plus the desire to support the development of joyous relationships between children and their caregivers. The PLAY Project is available in close to 30 states and 9 countries (and counting!)

The PLAY Project recently completed a three‐year multi‐site randomized controlled trial which showed improvements in both parent‐child interaction and autism diagnosis. This large scale study focused on the impact of our autism intervention: a parent-mediated play and relationship focused program
Significant improvements in:
caregiver/parent and child interaction
social interaction of children with autism
social-emotional development of children with autism
autism symptomology

Secondary outcomes:
Improved parent stress and depression; and
PLAY Project consultant fidelity. For more information, contact us at 734-585-5333 or [email protected].

🧬 **Autism research is moving fast—but headlines often move faster.**

Tylenol and autism. Childhood vaccines and autism. What does the science actually say?

In the first episode of **Dr. Rick’s Guide to Autism**, Dr. Rick Solomon cuts through the noise to explore the research, separate evidence from speculation, and tackle the questions families are asking.

No sensationalism. No jumping to conclusions. Just science, thoughtful questions, and a commitment to what matters most: improving the lives of children and families. 💙

At The P.L.A.Y. Project, we believe development starts with joy. When a child smiles, laughs, or locks eyes with someone they trust, learning becomes possible. Joy is the source code, the driving force behind every milestone. 🌟

10/07/2026

The PLAY Project was created by developmental pediatrician Dr. Richard Solomon, who recognized the need for an autism intervention that empowers families through relationships and play. Level 1 gives you the opportunity to learn the foundational principles of this evidence-based model and begin applying them in your own home or practice.
