emotions through play, allowing them to express thoughts and feelings that are difficult to
articulate verbally.

supplies to facilitate various forms of play. Therapists observe and interact with the child,
using techniques to encourage

engage in play that reflects their interests and experiences. This freedom within a structured

strategies.
Different types of play are incorporated based on the child's needs and preferences, such as
imaginative play, storytelling, art, role-playing, and structured games. These activities
encourage expression, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and social interaction
skills.
