Play is a huge part of a child’s early communication, but for very young children with Additional Support Needs connecting through play can sometimes feel like a puzzle. As parents and carers, we often find ourselves wondering: How do I join in without causing stress? How do I know if they want me there?
Every child is different and there is no single “right” way to play. We hope this booklet gives you the confidence to slow down, notice the small signals, and build gentle bridges of connection with your child.
