Play

Shine Therapy Services has been commissioned by Halton Borough Council to deliver a training programme specifically for the parents / carers of children and young people resident within the Borough.

The programme aims to empower parents / carers with knowledge that can be applied practically in the care and support of children and young people.

The details of this half day course are outlined below:

Play

Play is fundamental to early communication development. By engaging in games and pretend play from a young age, children and young people practice essential skills such as turn-taking, listening and concentration, reading body language, and expressing emotions in a low-pressure environment. These skills form the foundation of non-verbal interaction, language development and social communication. This session provides an overview of the developmental stages of play (e.g. exploratory play, relational play, functional play and symbolic play) and the play strategies that support communication development.

Registration opens at 10:00. The course starts promptly at 10:30 and finishes at 14:00. Lunch is not provided. Free parking available at Shopping City, but travel by public transport encouraged.

Tickets only available via Eventbrite. No admittance without Eventbrite ticket.

Next course: Toileting and Developing Continence - 10.02.27 (see Eventbrite).

A separate training programme will be delivered for local authority education professionals. Details of this programme will be issued directly to schools.
