About

This workshop has been designed specifically for teachers, therapists, integration aides, and allied health professionals working in specialist school environments who want practical, evidence-based tools to bring the power of play into their classrooms.

Please note that Learn To Play Therapy Part 1 is a prerequisite for attending this workshop, as this workshop focuses on the practical implementation of Learn To Play in specialist school settings. We’ll be building on your existing knowledge of the developmental levels of pretend play and the PPEDC framework, so some familiarity with these foundations is recommended before joining. To get the most out of this session, participants should be at the stage of beginning to experiment with Learn To Play — feeling confident enough to engage with children in small group contexts.

 
WORKSHOP OUTLINE
 
Dr Chloe Wadley will guide you through:
 
  • Background & literature — The evidence base for Learn To Play Therapy in specialist school settings, including key research findings on pretend play, language, social skills, and academic competence in neurodivergent children.
  • Barriers and key considerations when implementing Learn To Play Therapy within school systems. 
  •  Implementation within specialist schools — Practical guidance on how to embed Learn To Play within the curriculum framework. 
  • Play assessment in specialist schools and designing Learn To Play sessions (both in the classroom and within designated play spaces)
  • Q & A — Live question and answer session with Dr Chloe Wadley.
