Playing is something that children do naturally, on their own, everyday. Play based therapy for kids allows for the child to shine doing something they are familiar and comfortable with. At Achieve Pediatric Therapy we strive to make therapy motivating and fun to maximize the child’s potential.

The clinicians at Achieve spend time in the initial assessment gaining the child’s trust and becoming their friend. When the child becomes comfortable with the clinician he/she will feel more as though it is just another play date and less like they are being taught and tested.

Play based therapy tests attention to task, eye contact, turn-taking, problem solving, following directions, sequencing, early concepts (such as big and little, long and short), prepositions, appropriate play skills and much more.

By targeting goals while playing, the clinician promotes generalization and carryover. Play based therapy is less structured and allows the child and clinician to be creative. Our clinicians are quick on their feet, spontaneous and flexible and follow the child’s lead to incorporate therapy with the child’s interest. This form of therapy is not forced, less structured and less intimidating for children.

At Achieve Pediatric Therapy we make therapy fun and engaging. To book an appointment with one of our many clinicians you can email us at info@achievetherapies.com or call us at (877) 5-ACHIEVE.
