The important role of early play in learning & development
Research shows that play is a critical part of the way children learn. Many families, however, find that play is harder when their child has a delay or disability. In this workshop, we will explore some new ideas for supporting your child’s play and activities and toys that are good to encourage play.
Join us to share new ideas to support your child’s early play.
Come along to explore:
- How does play fit in with getting your child to be ready for school
- How do we engage a reluctant player
- What are the different stages of play
- Recognising your child’s stage of play development and how to support them into the next step
- What to do when other children don’t want to play with your child
There will be time for questions at the end of the session
This session is for
Parents, primary carers and family members of children aged 6 months – 6 years.
While this workshop was designed with children with disability or developmental delays in mind, many of the strategies are relevant to all children.
