As we consider ways to support functional communication, we have a tendency to focus on conventional forms of communication (words, signs, gestures), but in doing so, we may be missing an opportunity to learn about a child’s experience of their world through the communicative actions of play. This presentation will use case examples that invite participants to consider how inherent properties of toys might interact with their individual profile and emotional thinking to support or inhibit the child’s interest and ability to convey their ideas and feelings through play.
