Play Together
Social Skills Group
By: Heather Knox

With the increase in diagnoses of ADHD, Autism, Social communication Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorders and other quirky social challenges, more and more children are being brought to play therapy because they don’t play well with others.  Not to mention the increased reliance on video games and digitial devices, which are draining kids time playing together.   Treating 1:1 can help some, and is an essential part of treating the sadness and worry that go with these challenges.  Treating in group is an essential way to teach the skills needed, and yet 1)- play therapists are not always trained to run groups and 2) its very difficult to find a group to refer kids to.  The goal of this workshop is to help you be the group leader your clients and community need(s)!

4:30 – 7:30
