Top 5 Reasons NOT to miss the January Conference

Top Five Reasons not to miss the January Conference with Sueann Kenny-Noziska:

1. Her focus is on techniques. You’ll leave with many new techniques to use in your day-to-day work with children and families.

2. Refreshing new activities to use with clients. We all like new ideas to take back with us.

3. Giveaways! From books and toys to a free conference – Alabama Play Therapy Association likes to give things away.

4. Connecting with colleagues and Play Therapy Supervisors.

5. CEUS for both your license and towards play therapist requirements.

Come join us in January!

How is your Technique?

 

Sueann Kenney-Noziska, AAPT’s Winter 2009 conference presenter, has graciously provided us a sneak peak of what we will learn during “Techniques, Techniques, Techniques: Play Based Activities for Children, Adolescents & Families”.

Check out the video on our homepage to view the technique!

If you have not received a workshop brochure please be sure you are signed up in the snail mail area of the website.  The brochure is also available for download.

 

“This is one of my favorite techniques for emotional expression and can be used for any number of clients.”

Revealing Your Feelings

Materials: Paper; black marker; Crayola Color Changeables™ markers; small candy or stickers (optional)

Description: The therapist draws various shapes on the paper using a black marker. Using the invisible marker from the package of Crayola Changeable Markers™ , the therapist writes various feeling words or the word “Treat” inside the shapes. Players take turns coloring in a shape with one of the color Changeable Markers™. This will reveal the feeling word previously written inside the shape with the invisible marker. After the feeling has been revealed, the child discusses a time they experienced the feeling indicated in the shape. If the word “Treat” is inside the shape, the child selects a piece of candy. Stickers can be used instead of candy if so desired.

Again, this technique can be seen demonstrated by visiting our web site. This is just a sample of what you will obtain by attending the Winter Conference so sign up today!

See you in January!
