1 Practice Toolbox: Child Intervention Allison Steve Master of Social Work, Walden University SOCW 6111: Advanced Social Work Practice I Dr. Kristie Abbs January 12, 2024

2 Why did you select the intervention? This writer chose play therapy because it is a good intervention to engage children. It is a way a social worker can observe a child’s interaction with toys and the correlation between play and issues going on with the child. Why might it be especially helpful for use with children? According to Wonderspring Early Education (2020), play supports children in practicing decision-making skills, resolving conflict, and learning self-advocacy skills. Young children may not know how to express their feelings, and this can be shown through behavioral issues. Children learn ways to express their feelings appropriately, ways to control their behavior, and how to solve problems through play therapy (Psychology Today, n.d.). Play therapy provides a safe environment for children to express themselves without any consequences. Play therapy can be conducted in multiple ways, which can include the social worker observing the child and parent play together (Psychology Today, n.d.). The play therapist can have a more direct approach and role-play a difficult situation with the child to help process the traumatic event (Psychology Today, n.d.). What challenges or limitations might there be for this intervention? There are challenges and limitations to play therapy. This intervention relies heavily on the therapist's skills and needs to be trained and certified along with supervision (Madsen, 2022). Some therapists may integrate play while doing talk therapy which is what this writer has done. Integrating play into talk therapy is not considered play therapy (Madsen, 2022). Another limitation is that play therapy does not work for every problem or child and can be a long process (Madsen, 2022).
