Kids want to independently join in playground activities, but many of the kids we work with struggle to do so. Put your kids in the driver’s seat by helping them develop skills they can take from therapy to the playground. This session will give you evidence-based tools you can put right into your toolbox to foster both skill development and the ability to adapt the skill to the challenges of group play. Learn the most fun and effective way to structure your therapy activities to give your kids a leg up in reaching for their dreams.
