You want to support your child’s communication.
(But you’re not a therapist—and playtime shouldn’t feel like another job.)
What if the toys you already own could help your child communicate without complicated steps or extra pressure?
Make Any Toy a Learning Toy is a practical eBook created by experienced BCBAs (and parents) for families raising young autistic or non-speaking children to help improve their play and communication skills.
Even if your child…
... only plays with one toy over and over
.…throws everything instead of engaging
.…isn’t talking yet
Even if you...
... feel lost when it comes to “playing right”
... don’t have time for another complicated therapy plan
This eBook is for you!
What's Inside
-
10 of the most common toys—each with a dedicated one-page guide
-
Word-for-word scripts to encourage communication
-
The “Join, Add, Wait” method—so simple, anyone can do it
-
Printable pages (one per toy!) to post on your fridge or keep in a binder
-
Bonus tips for siblings, transitions, and avoiding power struggles
It’s like having a coach by your side—on your schedule.
This isn’t a toy list.
It’s not a shopping guide.
And it’s definitely not another Pinterest project that ends up half-finished and gathering dust.
This is a strategy-packed, therapist-backed eBook designed to help you feel confident during the one part of your day that shouldn’t feel like work: playtime.
You won’t need to prep, plan, or purchase anything new.
No scripting required. No hour-long lesson plans. Just simple, powerful ways to build skills while you play.
Because parenting is already hard enough.
This should feel like a deep breath, not another to-do.

A parent-friendly format that works whether you’re brand new to ABA or deep in the trenches.
We’re not just providers.
We’re parents too.
We’ve worked with parents just like you—
staring at a pile of toys, wondering,
“Am I doing enough? Am I doing this right?”
Some are waiting for services.
Some are already in therapy but still feel lost at home.
But no matter your background, we never forget:
Behind every family is a hopeful, overwhelmed parent
just trying to connect with their child and make the most of the time they have.
This eBook was built with that in mind.
No fluff. No jargon. No pressure to be perfect.
Just real tools, real words, and a calm, steady way forward—
even if it’s just 10 minutes on the living room floor.
Because you don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need one small step that actually helps.
Real help for real-life moments:

“My daughter would only spin toys or walk away from me. This guide gave me something to try that actually worked—and we’re playing together now.”
— Maria L., San Mateo
“It’s not overwhelming. One page per toy. I can actually use this in the moment, without prepping anything.”
— Jennie P., Bay Area mom
“I finally know what to say to keep play going without her getting frustrated. I’ve printed out three pages and stuck them on the fridge.”
— Kevin S., Dad of 2
