Davie – Play: An Intervention for Challenging Behavior

Demands on teachers and children are increasing. A significant percentage of teachers report more challenging behaviors in their classroom and frustration in their knowledge and ability to work with these children. Skills once expected in kindergarten are being pushed down into preschool. Play is disappearing.  In this session we will:

•    Identify reasons (supported by research) why play is important
•    Discuss challenging behaviors and how play may decrease those behaviors
•    Describe the overall concept of Dr. Stanley Greenspan’s Floortime
•    Analyze common preschool play items and discuss learning goals that are being met
•    Practice explaining the importance of play to parents
