Your child may have difficulty coping with change, developing relationships or communicating their feelings due to developmental delay or having a diagnosis such as ASD or ADHD. Due to these delays your child may need additional support to develop these skills. Play therapy encourages children to freely express their feelings and desires through play, by giving them the vocabulary in a positive play-based environment. Evidence shows that play therapy supports children to learn valuable life skills including; expressing their feelings, becoming flexible in transitions, adapting to routine changes, self-regulating their emotions, decreasing frequency and severity of meltdowns and developing social behaviours.
