Overview of Session:
This workshop is designed to provide pediatric therapists, pediatric therapy assistants, educators, and early intervention providers with a practical understanding of neuroplasticity and how play-based intervention supports childhood development.

Through interactive discussion, case studies, collaborative group activities, live patient demonstration and hands-on strategy development, attendees will gain tools to incorporate neuroplasticity principles into functional everyday routines and therapeutic play activities. Emphasis will be placed on family-centered care, caregiver coaching, and creating opportunities for learning within naturally occurring environments.
Participants will leave with evidence-based intervention ideas that can immediately be implemented during therapy sessions, home routines, and classroom activities to support children in achieving developmental milestones in a fun, functional, and motivating way.
