About this listen

In this episode of The NDBI Navigator Podcast, Dr. Jamie sits down with Dr. Sho Araiba and Dr. Marija Čolić to explore their innovative social skills program—affectionately called Play Dojo by its participants. Rooted in neurodiversity-affirming practice, the program uses play as the primary medium for building foundational social skills in autistic children. Together, the guests share how their community-led initiative in Hawai'i blossomed into a research-informed program grounded in joy, flexibility, and empowerment.
