Learn to Play Therapy.

Play is a complex activity and draws on a number of cognitive structures. Learn to Play Therapy is a practical hands-on therapy which aims to develop the ability of a child to engage in pretend play spontaneously and joyfully. It was developed for children who struggle to play.

Learn to Play focuses on pretend play, as this type of play is the most complex and mature form of play. Pretend play also impacts on language (particularly narrative language), social interaction, and emotional integration of the child’s experiences. The play skills that are the focus of Learn to Play Therapy are: ability to spontaneously self-initiate play, sequencing play actions logically, using objects as something else (object substitution or symbols in play), engaging with a doll or teddy character outside of themselves, integrating their play so a clear play script is evident, role play and socially interacting using play.

Learn to play therapy engages children in a natural way without instructing children “do this.”

A play assessment is conducted to assess your child’s play skills. The assessment process commences once a child is settled in the playroom and is done across two sessions. Play assessments are also completed by parents and educators.

Regular reviews are completed with parent’s to monitor children’s development.

Sessions can also be held at your child’s educational setting to support generalising skills and promoting confidence in play.
