By Gary Brown


If your child is dealing with psychological issues due to various circumstances or is having difficulty in learning. Then you might be in need of a professional in that area. Now the best option for kids ranging from 5 years old up to 12 years old are play therapies.

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.

There is a great chance that the guidance counselor of your child knows one. Usually, guidance counselors has a list of good therapists, so surely you will be able to get referrals. When asking for referrals, ask only for those who are specializing in dealing with children and not with adults.

Ask recommendations. Your friend or your coworkers must know someone. If you know a person who have tried it as well, then that person is the one you are looking for. He or she can provide you with the necessary information such as what is needed and what not and you can get advice as well.

When you inquire be sure that you ask questions to get an idea if to enroll or not. Know the background of the person, how many times does a parent need to come, how long will the therapy session be. Also, ask for a name of a customer that he or she has dealt with so you can ask that customer if selecting that certain someone is the right choice.

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.

Finding the right one means taking your time in verifying the credibility of the therapists. Inquire at least three people in order to select the best and for options. During the interview ask questions that can help you in selecting or based on your criteria. If you feel like a certain individual is not the right one then do not hesitate to find another one.

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.

Know the price and if they cater insurance. Most facilities priced per session or per month. Knowing the pricing helps you prepare for the budget needed. If you plan on using your insurance, then that be sure that they cater one. You would not want to found out after a month that you have been billed greatly.
