This accessible text explores the development of play skills and schemas to support children with learning differences and physical disabilities in learning to play. Each chapter looks at an aspect of play - from play therapy and sensory play, to LEGO, role play and digital play - and discusses how the approach can meet the needs of children in specialist settings, from those with sensory needs, to children with physical disabilities. The book introduces a myriad of different ways to use play and shares both evidence and anecdotes of the benefits to physical and mental health, as well as learning.
