Developmental Play Therapy

Service Description

Do any of these phrases apply to your toddler “enjoys playing alone”, “too shy”, “has words but does not hold conversations”? Then it is in your child’s best interest to get them enrolled in our Developmental Play Therapy Program. Our developmental play therapy program utilizes an evidence-based curriculum to systematically build your child’s ability to engage with peers and adults, respond to and initiate play and, use more words to express their ideas. Program is recommended for toddlers (15 months to 3 years) with language delays and social interaction difficulties who struggle to respond to or initiate social advances with other children and adults. It is also suitable for toddlers with an autism spectrum diagnosis (ASD). This is a 6-month program implemented by a trained therapist with follow up modules at home that is implemented by parents for greater traction. Sessions can be at home, school or clinic. Children with an ASD diagnosis may require an extended plan depending of severity of symptoms. What your child will be taught on this program: 1. Appropriate play with people and toys (not mouthing or banging, avoiding people) 2. Focusing on people and making eye contact 3. Shared attention; pointing and looking at things you point to 4. Imitation of actions and words 5. Initiate & respond to play 6. Understand their own emotions & respond to emotions of other people 7. Learn to communicate what they want and respond to you when you communicate with them The parent module of the program consists of an 8 – week coaching plan that will teach you how to get your child to use their new skills at home and how you can also expand those skills within your everyday routines with your child.
