How many different things can you do with a paper towel roll? What about straws? The value of play is widely recognized in child development, with impacts upon the student-teacher relationship, communication, flexibility, and much more. But it can be difficult to keep things fresh.  Some learners are difficult to engage.  In these cases, subtleties in the PROCESSES of engagement are critical.  Many RBT’s, parents, teachers, etc are accustomed to being told what to teach and how to teach, and some struggle to generate creative play ideas.

In this presentation, we will discuss aspects of healthy play processes and will share a LOT of creative play ideas with common materials.  Everyone will leave with new play ideas!
