Play is more than fun, it’s how children learn, explore, and connect. In ABA therapy, play isn’t just a reward; it’s a powerful tool used to teach essential life skills in a way that feels natural and engaging.
Through structured play activities, therapists help children build communication, imitation, attention, and social interaction. A game of blocks can teach taking turns. Pretend play can build imagination and conversation skills. Even simple songs and games can improve focus and listening.
Play also strengthens trust between the therapist and the child. When a child feels safe and enjoys their sessions, they’re more open to learning new skills. That’s why our team at SimpleABA incorporates fun, creativity, and flexibility into every session.
Parents can continue this at home too, by joining in play, following their child’s lead, and celebrating every attempt to communicate or connect.
When learning feels like play, growth happens naturally and every laugh becomes a step forward.
