Play is the universal language of all children.

Play Therapy comes from the basic idea that children universally can communicate through the act of playing. Regardless of race, language, culture, socioeconomic class or other forms of classification, all children know what it is to play. In this practice play therapy is used as an ice-breaker tool to help children feel comfortable and safe. As many parents know, a specific toy or play-time scenario can often ease a child's mind and allow them to settle into a new environment.
