Joint Attention Symbolic Play Engagement and Regulation
Joint Attention Symbolic Play Engagement Regulation (JASPER) is a treatment approach based on a combination of developmental and behavioral principles.
It was developed by Dr. Connie Kasari at the Center for Autism Research and Treatment, at University of California, Los Angeles.
This intervention model
- targets the foundations of social-communication (joint attention, imitation, play)
- uses naturalistic strategies to increase the rate and complexity of social-communication
- includes parents and teachers as implementers of the intervention to promote generalization across settings and activities and to ensure maintenance over time
