What is Play Based Therapy?
xoxot4kids is a Pediatric Occupational Therapy practice that is centered around identifying and treating the particular developmental issues apparent during this phase of their life. Diane finds that by incorporating therapeutic approaches with play, the child is more engaged and tends to learn the skills necessary. They tend to learn more while having fun as Diane says!
The play therapy is a window into their world. Emphasizing an understanding of the impact of the child’s sensory processing and postural control on their capacity to relate, communicate and learn. At all times Diane is evaluating progress, alterations in methods, and the physiological/medical impact in which she observes in the child. Additionally she works with assisting parents, and creating environments the child can thrive in. The focus of the practice is to empower the child and parent in their interactions through child directed play.
