Both Kiersten and Anna have shared tonnes of valuable information over the past few years. This is because we have a true passion for Play Based Therapy.

 This course puts all of the knowledge and experience we have gained using Play-Based Therapy into a complete step-by-step guide for you - so you can learn not only the 'whats', but the 'hows' of each component of Play Based Therapy - in a quick and practical way.

There is plenty of new information available in the course, as well as loads of exclusive resources, such as handouts, target lists, and forms.

Play Based Therapy 101 is designed to give you a strong foundation in purposeful play based therapy. If you're ready to dive deeper afterward, our comprehensive Play Based Speech Therapy Course expands on these concepts with toy-specific applications, advanced strategies, detailed therapy demonstrations, and answers to the many "but what if...?" questions that come up as you gain experience. 

We will be offering a discount on the full course if you complete Play Based Speech Therapy 101.

 When you register for Play Based Therapy 101, you'll receive: 

• ✔️ A 2.5-hour training with Anna and Kiersten (or access to the recording if you can't attend live)
• ✔️ One full year of access to the workshop recording, so you can rewatch it anytime
• ✔️ The presentation slides to follow along during the training and refer back to afterward
• ✔️ A certificate of completion for 2.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH)

Our goal is for you to leave with more than just ideas ... you'll walk away with a clear framework, practical strategies, and resources you can revisit long after the workshop is over.

 If you've ever caught yourself thinking... 

• "I feel like I spend more time planning than actually doing therapy."
• "I don't know how to follow a child's lead without losing my goals."
• "I feel like every student needs a different activity."
• "I want to use more play, but I'm not sure where to start."
• "I have plenty of toys... I just don't know how to use them purposefully."

...then this training is for you.

Play Based Therapy 101 is designed for SLPs who want to build a strong foundation in purposeful play-based therapy. We'll give you the mindset, framework, and practical starting point you need to feel more confident, spend less time planning, and make the most of the toys and activities you already own.

If you're looking for advanced toy-specific adaptations, in-depth troubleshooting, or detailed "what if..." scenarios, those are covered in our comprehensive Play Based Speech Therapy Course. But if you're ready to stop overcomplicating therapy and finally understand how play-based therapy works, this is the perfect place to start.

In this live training, we'll cover the foundational principles of purposeful Play Based therapy, including: 

• What Play Based Therapy is (and isn't) and why it works.
• The Play Based Mindset and the biggest shifts that will change the way you approach therapy.
• How to follow a child's lead while staying intentional with your therapy goals.
• A simple framework you can use to confidently plan and deliver therapy.
• How to adapt one activity for a variety of speech and language goals so you aren't searching for new materials.
• Real therapy examples so you can see the framework in action.
• Live Q&A to help you feel confident getting started.

Please note: Play-Based Therapy 101 is designed to give you a strong foundation in purposeful Play Based Therapy.

 It does not cover the in-depth toy-by-toy applications, specific therapy activities, advanced adaptations, or detailed "what if..." scenarios included in our comprehensive Play Based Speech Therapy Course.

Think of this as your starting point - the framework you'll build on as your confidence grows.
