Course Description:
Play Therapy is an incredible method of communication and diagnostics. It will teach you how to interpret the ways in which children play, the importance of what they play with/what they create, and how to interpret their interactions with us as the professional.
By attending this seminar, you will learn how to understand and determine what the individual is struggling with and causes for presenting behaviors and emotions through their play. You will leave with a tool box filled with ready to use Play Therapy techniques that you will immediately be able to implement in your work with children and clients of all ages. This tool box will consist of appropriate tools for presenting problems such as anger, ADHD, depression, anxiety and more. Some of the tools will include Sand Tray therapy, coloring, the use of puppets, dance/movement, “I Spy”, Gift Boxes, and so many other great techniques. Much of this conference will include active learning and hands on participation. So get ready to learn, have fun and see the world through a child’s eyes.
