Have you ever had a client that just didn’t seem to make any progress in play therapy even with all your best efforts?
What can you do to figure out what’s going on with your clients?
Assessment is one of the core competencies in play therapy.
There are some forms of assessment we can do as child/adolescent therapists, and some types of assessment require more formal training.
Sometimes, formal assessment can provide a wealth of information to better understand your young clients so you can help them get better.
The key to using assessment information effectively is knowing 👇
✅ what types of assessments are available
✅ what assessments can tell you about your clients
✅ how to help your clients get the right kind of assessments
