In this session, the therapist focuses on a blend of play and structured learning to engage the child effectively. Starting with playtime to build rapport, they set clear goals, using timers to transition between activities. The therapist emphasises creating a controlled environment to minimise escape behaviours while incorporating choice-making to increase motivation. Throughout the session, they take data using an app, balancing fun with educational tasks, such as matching letters and completing patterns. The importance of flexibility and adapting to the child’s responses is highlighted, reminding viewers that the job involves more than just play.
