Did you know children actually learn through play? Play is the universal first language for children. Play therapy is founded in the research that a child creates new pathways in the brain as they play and that children communicate their needs and emotions through play. Children can problem solve, roll play, and experiment safely in their play. Play Therapists offer a space for children to create a sense of autonomy and develop new coping skills. Play therapy actually reaches children in a way that traditional talk therapy falls short.
