Day 1:
Neurological and Developmental Considerations in Play Therapy (includes the Sandcastle Model)
Tantrums are difficult to manage in a two year old and they are difficult AND confusing when they occur in a nine year old. This training will explore various stages of development for children birth-12 years of age. We’ll use this information to explore what happens when this development is interrupted, and how to use play therapy to support children in "growing up" into the best versions of themselves. Crystal has developed a Sandcastle Model to assist with understanding how trauma, mental illness, relationships and resiliency, all play a role in a childs development. This model can also be used to educate others, set treatment goals and to design interventions.
Learning Objectives:
Day 2:
