Abstract
How can we develop play-based social learning environments that – truly – invite autistic children to engage on their own terms? The CollaboLearn project began from a shared interest in exploring this question between researchers at the IMC and educators at Langagerskolen, a large public school for autistic children in Aarhus. This partnership made it possible to do research on autistic social play at the same time as developing co-creative learning environments with the children. I take the talk as an opportunity to reflect on the project as it unfolded through different phases by focusing on: 1) research findings and their implications, 2) learning resources and their implementation, and 3) projects designs and their potential for collaboration.
