"The Friend 2 Friend Social Learning Society’s groundbreaking work is possibly one of the most important contributions to the field of autism today. F2F’s innovative programs for demystifying autism and promoting reciprocal friendships is reaching countless children as professionals and families embrace their practices in school, home and community settings. F2F has become an essential component of my own practice that involves developing inclusive peer play programs via the Integrated Play Groups model. It is a profound privilege to partner with Heather McCracken and her fabulous team in delivering state-of-the-art programs that bring children together in the true spirit of play and friendship."
