By Gary Brown


When you think that a child of yours has psychological problem, learning difficulties or you would like to prevent that from happening. Finding the appropriate professional must be done. Now with children aging from 5 to 12 years old who are suffering emotionally, play therapies are the best solution.

Using of various toys, arts and crafts, games, or other playing method is used by them to know what your child is feeling or dealing with. Looking for the right play therapy facility could be daunting and time consuming. And, finding the right one means there are factors to take considerations to.

Contact the guidance counselor of the school of your children. Guidance counselors has a list of great therapists so there is a big chance that he or she can refer you with some specialists. Now, when you consult to one, go only for those who specializes and has experience in dealing with younger people.

Ask for a referral from the people you trust. It would be great to ask for a referral from a person who has experienced the same as well. This can greatly benefit you since he or she can give you advices and you can have an idea on how the whole process is like and what you should expect.

Whenever you found someone and is interested in that therapists, ask question from him or her. Question like how does the person deal with the kid, the duration of the session, and if a parent is needed all the time. To ensure you are dealing with the correct people, interview its previous customer.

Before the scheduled start of the session you must prepare all the things needed. On the day of the first session and before it starts provide the specialist the reports from the teachers of your child. Not only that, give information about the things you learn and observed from your kid. This will greatly help the professional in making the recovery faster.

In order to find the right one, do not go to the very first one that you see. Have at least three options for a variety of selections. Also, take your time in interviewing them to ensure that you will be able to hire only the better ones. And if you think a person is lacking with something, do not hesitate to look for another.

With the list of the remaining people schedule for a tour in their facility. When you are there, check if the environment is fit for your child and if they make sure to provide safety measures to keep the kids from harm. Observe how do they interact and communicate and if they treat the kids nicely and with care.

Lastly, know the pricing. It could be per month or per session, you never know unless you ask. Go for those who priced reasonably. When you are planning to use your insurance for the payment, verify to them first if they allow insurance for payment or not.
