Pamela’s Story:
Pamela got the idea to start the Integrated Play Groups model in her sleep.
Pamela and her research partners took the Integrated Play Groups into many schools and communities and formed the Autism Institute on Peer Socialization and Play – a collective of independent professionals to foster the human right for kids with autism to be social included in the culture of play with peers.
