Did you know that children with intellectual disabilities may be helped by play therapy? 1-day introductory course and full training in Play Therapy - UK
Play Therapy for Children with Intellectual Disabilities: Children with intellectual disability and their families experience more stressful situations of everyday life, including social neglect and educational limitations. They are more likely to develop symptoms of mental disorders.
It's important to introduce appropriate support, such as Play Therapy, as soon as possible. The playroom, with a wide range of creative arts media provides the opportunity for a wide range of expression.
As an example, a ten-year old boy with learning difficulties and low IQ scores, presented an aggressive attitude, especially towards his mother. In Play Therapy he started with sand trays in which he played out dangerous and helpless situations, in silence, without eye-contact with the therapist.
After several weeks changes occurred, allowing the figurines to defend themselves and he started to talk with the therapist. The outcome of Play Therapy was successful as measured by SDQ scores.
