About the Play Café
This Play Café will present guidelines to help therapists choose therapeutic toys wisely. Factors such as ability to facilitate a range of emotional expression, sensory qualities, toys that can be flexible and used in different ways, toys like bridges and fences, trees, water, etc for creating a setting and boundary setting. Practical considerations such as durability, frustration level, ability to clean and expense will also be addressed, as well as sources of toys. There will be an opportunity to view and purchase some of the materials discussed.
