Working the Middle Ground: Intermediate Play Therapy Approaches for Child

Middle childhood is a rich and often complex developmental stage—full of expanding emotions, growing identities, and new social challenges. Although play remains a child’s language well into the middle childhood years, how they use play evolves. This CEU offers a deep dive into evidence-informed Play Therapy approaches designed specifically for school-age children. Attendees will explore the developmental tasks unique to middle childhood, and leave with practical interventions they can use immediately with children ages 6–12
