Play as a Therapy Tool

During this session, we will explore play as a therapy tool: what play is and what the research tells us about how it works. We will also cover how we can use play to target speech therapy goals. Lastly, we will briefly explore Autistic play and how it differs from what we traditionally think of play.

The Guest Presenter Who Will Join Us For This Conversation Is:
