❓ Have you heard the recent discussions about play therapy and the NDIS?

Many families are feeling uncertain about whether play therapy will continue to be supported under the National Disability Insurance Scheme—and what that might mean for their children. 💙

In our latest blog, we unpack the issue, explore what’s being said, and help you understand if this is something to worry about.

Grief is one of those things that can feel too big to handle - especially for kids.

Children don’t always have the words to express how they feel when they lose someone close to them.

That’s where play therapy can make all the difference. It offers a unique, gentle approach that allows children to process their emotions in a way that feels natural to them - through play.

Children often receive messages from the adults around them that aggressive, risky, and messy play are undesirable. However, engagement in these types of play is critical for children’s social, physical, and emotional development.

Through aggressive play, children experience heightened emotions and can learn skills in self-regulation, and they can test the limits of their abilities and learn to make choices. Messy play can help them build fine and gross motor skills and meet sensory needs and experiences.
