For Deborah’s dissertation she is carrying out an exploratory study to investigate the benefits, if any, of therapeutic play intervention for children who are autistic, neurodivergent, or have social, emotional, communication or behavioural issues.
The study is open to any parents or guardians that have a child that has attended, or is attending play therapy.
This study is to investigate if this form of therapy has been seen to be a useful intervention to help children with complex needs.
Participation in this research involves completing an online survey which will take 5-10 minutes to complete. It contains 20 questions asking the participant to recall their experience since their child has completed play therapy sessions.
