At Play to Say, we believe in using play as a methodology to enhance the outcomes of our therapy sessions.

What is Play-Based Therapy?
Play-based therapy is an approach that uses play as a medium to engage children in therapy sessions. We understand that children learn best through play, and by incorporating play into our therapy sessions, we can create a fun and interactive environment for our patients.
During play-based therapy, our therapists use various play activities and games to target specific speech and language goals. These activities are carefully designed to be both enjoyable and educational, allowing children to develop their communication skills while having fun.
The Benefits of Play-Based Therapy
There are numerous benefits to using play-based therapy for children with disabilities. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Increased Engagement
By incorporating play into therapy sessions, children are more likely to stay engaged and motivated. Play-based therapy helps create a positive and enjoyable atmosphere, making it easier for children to actively participate in their therapy sessions.
2. Improved Communication Skills
Play-based therapy provides children with opportunities to practice and develop their communication skills in a natural and interactive way. Through play, children can learn to express themselves, understand others, and improve their overall communication abilities.
3. Enhanced Social Skills
Playing with others allows children to develop and practice important social skills. In a play-based therapy setting, children can learn to take turns, share, cooperate, and interact with their peers, fostering the development of social skills that are crucial for everyday life.
4. Tailored Approach
One of the key advantages of play-based therapy is its ability to be tailored to the individual needs and interests of each child. Our therapists carefully select play activities and games that are appropriate for each child’s age, abilities, and specific speech and language goals.
5. Positive Emotional Development
Play-based therapy can have a positive impact on a child’s emotional development. By engaging in fun and interactive play activities, children can experience a sense of accomplishment and build self-confidence. This can lead to improved self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards therapy and learning.
