Parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play are key milestones in early childhood: Parallel play (playing alongside another child without direct interaction) usually appears around 18–24 months.

"He will engage in play with a peer for 5 minutes" "He will engage in reciprocal play with a peer for 5 minutes" "He will display appropriate play with 5 different toys/games" The above are goals I've read AND GOTTEN RID OF this year in IEPs. Because my Autistic clients know how to play-- it just looks different. They also can play with others and display reciprocal play within an interest and after connections are formed. We don't need to change how a child plays. It's time we embrace it. | Inc
