[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 527037, member: 11847"] If you look at my signature, you'll see that V is in playtherapy. I posted several times on wether it was useful or not. But from the little I know, our kids' issues are very different. V never had any traumatic experience. He was just born different (we are still uncovering the layers of issues). Playtherapy can mean so many things depending on the therapist. Our therapist favors the following methode: not intervein in the child's play, let the child take the lead. The child uses play like adults use words to work through feelings. In our case, she agreed to change her methods since V needs to learn social skills, turn taking, accept othr's input, etc... I suggest you have a nice long talk with the future therapist, and be very clear on what you want her to work on. Explain what progress would mean to you (being able to go in public for 1 hour without a meltdown during or afterwards? Being able to say "hello" to who she meets during the day? "being able to handle x hours of preschool?, etc..) Welcome to the forum! You'll get a lot of help and support here. [/QUOTE]
