Social Navigation Support through Group Play Therapy for Neurodivergent Youth

CE Hours 2

About this course

Participants will learn about the "Kid 2 Kid" integrative, group play therapy format created by Monica Fyfe, MFT, BCBA, RPT-S. Monica will share considerations for law and ethics, member selection, agendas and goals, and limit setting in a group environment. Participants will learn how to embed research-based directive interventions inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Play Therapy (ACPT), Teaching Interactions and Behavior Skills Training, and Theraplay® inspired Group Connection, Attachment and Movement Interventions. Participants will also benefit from bonus access to 5 curated, original social navigation role-play videos created by Monica Fyfe in partnership with an Eagle Scout volunteer project, that are inspired by PEERS® for adolescents. Some with original content, some adapted and inspired by PEERS® for adolescents.

And a big "Congratulations" to Eagle Scout, Emma Schleifer, for winning "Eagle Scout Project of the Year for the Greater Los Angeles Area Council!"  Thanks to her partnership with Monica Fyfe and Our Village to create these middle-school age-appropriate, helpful social navigation educational videos, for clinician and parent use to support their tweens and teens collaboratively in their social goals.
