Abstract	Abstract Children on the autism spectrum often exhibit unique learning needs that require specialized approaches for effective development. Play-based learning and nature-based education have gained significant attention for their benefits in cognitive, social, emotional, and sensory development, particularly for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This paper explores the effectiveness of these learning approaches in supporting the growth of children on the spectrum. By examining empirical research, case studies, and theoretical frameworks, this study highlights the benefits of play and nature in enhancing communication, sensory processing, motor skills, and emotional regulation. The paper argues that play-based and nature learning create inclusive, stimulating environments that cater to individual needs, making them ideal for children with ASD.
