Graduating with Autism: The Ben Gretchko Story

Graduating with Autism: The Ben Gretchko Story

The Gretchko family began working with PLAY Project when Ben was diagnosed with autism around 3-years-old. Fast forward 15 years later and watch Ben deliver a commencement speech at his high school graduation.

PLAY Project envisions that all parents will be supported in developing a joyous relationship with their children with autism in a way that will help each child reach their full potential. Our mission is to train a global network of pediatric professionals to deliver an evidence-based, low-cost, intensive developmental intervention to families of young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Richard Solomon, MD is a board certified developmental and behavioral pediatrician. A leader in the field of autism, Dr. Solomon has 25 years of experience working with thousands of children with ASD and their families. http://www.playproject.org/
