Group Play Therapy to Facilitate Play & Social Skills and Self-Regulation

Play Therapy Groups are a fun and impactful way of addressing social skill deficits in children. Groups help children develop interactive play, other social skills, and improve social confidence and self-regulation. The art of play therapy groups is in the combination of direct and indirect interventions, including teaching interactions, video-modeling, and Theraplay activities. This course includes two established evidence-based approaches to support these skills: Integrated Play Groups and Peer Mediated Instruction. Students will create their own play group activities and designs through experiential exercises throughout the course.

Other Credits: BBS, APT: 7 CE hours.

(APT CE provider # 98-046) While the Department of Psychiatry is aware of the research on the efficacy of play therapy, it cannot specifically endorse each play therapy intervention included in each class in the play therapy certificate program.
