Preferred Play Activities of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Naturalistic Settings
Published July 25, 2013
in North American Journal of Medicine and Science

Incorporating this type of play in recreational facilities, after-school programs, and playgrounds encourages inclusion and social interaction with peers.
