Abstract | As an occupational therapist running social play groups with sensory integration for children on the autism spectrum, the author frequently doubted the wisdom of combining several children on the spectrum into a group. In fact, as the owner of a clinic she said, "No more!" The groups seemed like a waste of parents' time and money, and she refused to run any groups at all. However, when she heard about Dr. Pamela J. Wolfberg's work, known as Integrated Play Groups (IPGs), it made sense. Children learn from their normally functioning peers. This is why there is inclusion rather than exclusion. In this article, the author discusses what exactly IPG is and describes what happens in an IPG session when combined with occupational therapy, as well as the frequency and average duration of an IPG program. A summary of benefits of the Integrated Play Groups Model for Novice, and Expert players is also provided. (ERIC). |
