Play therapy is a type of mental health intervention, which is specifically designed to help children alleviate emotional, social, and behavioral difficulties. Play is a child’s natural medium of self-expression. Children “play out” their feelings and problems whereas adults “talk out” their difficulties. As Ginott noted, for children toys are their words and play is their conversation.
Consultation Services
Consultation, a collaborative problem solving approach, promotes parents’ and teachers’ skills to improve children’s learning and behavior at home and at school. Behavioral support plans are designed with parents and teachers.
