Thoroughly enjoyed being on the Someone Gets Me podcast with Dianne Allen. This segment has some tips for neurodivergent adults.

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting at the LPCA of GA conference in Savannah this year. My topic- Let's Play: Enriching the Clinical Skills of the Non-Play Therapist. The participants were enthusiastic, engaged and asked terrific questions. Can't wait for next year!

Wonderful end to a wonderful conference. Atlanta hosted this year's annual APT (Association for Play Therapy) conference. Over 1100 professionals attended. It was wonderful to see old friends and hear new ideas, like from Dr. Sue Bratton who does play therapy with clients over 12. She asked us, "Who came up with the idea that counseling should be us sitting and asking questions for 55 minutes ?" Great question. Why not get up, draw, create, explore with our adult clients and families?

Studies show that many play therapists are uncomfortable with toy guns in their office. However, some kids need an aggressive outlet. I found this target game and it has been a welcome addition to my play therapy space, an effective alternative to toy guns. Plus, when the "axe" or "ninja star" hits the target, it let's out a very satisfying 'thwack " because of the bristles. This one was purchased at CVS, but I have seen others on Amazon. Happy playing!!
