Tools of the Trade- What’s in your Play therapy Toolbox?
2 CE Non-Contact Hours
COST: $49
Description:
Play therapy tools are special toys with which children play out themes in the various stages of the play therapy process. It is well known in the play therapy world, that play is the child’s language and toys are the words. Toys should be carefully selected and not just collected, as suggested by Dr. Garry Landreth, an expert in the field of play therapy. This 2-hour workshop will discuss basic toys for the playroom, as well as useful information in maintaining a functional playroom for play therapy. Additionally, emphasis will be placed on the presenter’s favorite toys/items. Examples of how these toys/items are used and metaphors that have emerged will be shared and discussed.

Play Therapy Myths and Misconceptions
3 CE Non-Contact Hours
COST: $59
Description:
“How does playing with my child causes him to stop having meltdowns?” “ I want you to talk to my child, not just play with him.” Providing a clear explanation about what play therapy is, and its function, is essential in order to gain cooperation and trust. Even with precise explanations and examples, there are times when parents and caregivers are not convinced that play therapy is for their child. By exploring myths and misconceptions about play therapy, and focusing on the benefits, beginning therapists will have a much better understanding of how to communicate this modality to parents and caregivers. Additionally, the beginning therapist will have an opportunity to clarify how play therapy works to bring about healing.
Learning Objectives:
- State critical information needed to adequately prepare to testify in court as a child therapist/play therapist
- Identify situations to avoid that could potentially disqualify a play therapist as a fact witness
- Formulate a clear and precise explanation of play therapy practice.

Recognizing and Responding to Potential Sexual Abuse Themes in Play Therapy
2 CE Non-Contact Hours
COST: $49
Description:
Therapists working with young children in play therapy will inevitably over time encounter children who have been sexually abused. Paying attention to potential “red flags “ is essential since young children typically do not have the words to communicate what is too painful or complicated to say with words. When sexual abuse has been disclosed, certain patterns in the child’s play may be evident. This workshop will address various behaviors in play therapy that should prompt the therapist to look further. Suggested responses will be included.
Learning Objectives:
- Define sexual abuse
- Describe some potential indicators in children’s play that could prompt the therapist to look further for signs of sexual abuse
- Identify potential therapeutic responses based on the child’s play that could indicate sexual abuse.

Responding to Cultural and Ethnic Themes in Play Therapy
3 CE Non-Contact Hours
COST: $59
Description:
“Children say the darndest things!” Because young children are not always able to process socially appropriate comments, they often blurt out exactly what is on their mind. For a play therapist of color, working with young children can be a challenge, since children at the age of 2 1/2 may become aware of difference in race, and may find creative ways to make it known. In play therapy, how the therapist responds can affect the therapeutic relationship in a positive or negative way. This workshop will discuss cultural awareness in children, and present examples of how children have expressed this during play therapy sessions. Interactions with the therapist and suggested responses for validation and insight will be included.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the importance of cultural competency when working with children in play therapy
- State common ethnic themes that may emerge during play therapy
- Identify suggested responses to children who may comment on ethnic differences during a play therapy session
- Demonstrate toys and materials in the play therapy room to emphasize inclusion
