This webinar aims to bring the therapeutic powers of sensory play to life by introducing the eight sensory systems and assessing their implications for play therapy practice. Sensory play, the eight sensory systems, and sensory play therapy, will be introduced and defined. Specific therapeutic powers associated with sensory play will be identified and sensory play therapy techniques will be demonstrated and explored. This webinar will provide a clear rationale for the inclusion on sensory play in play therapy practice and support clinicians in their application of the therapeutic powers of sensory play.
