The Project Play is essential for children’s self-development and social interactions. Children learn through play how to express themselves, how to explore their environment, and how to develop and grow . Play also enables a child to deal with negative impacts on their life. For a chronically sick child, this includes experiences of bad touch, clinical and invasive touch in a hospital setting. It also helps explain and help a child come to terms with their illness. Play therapy uses a variety of mediums from art to drama, storytelling, dance, puppets, masks, and music in play. Play therapy allows for a wider range of activities we can undertake with the affected children to help them come to terms and find ways of coping with their physical challenges. Outcomes Plato said, “the most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things”. This project will increase the quality of care which we provide to life-limited and life-threatened children, helping to increase the child’s sensory awareness while expressing their creativity and having fun. This service brings play to them which in most circumstances they are unable to access. Play therapy also brings the children a sense of control over their lives, creating child led play. The assistance given by providing play therapy sessions enables the children to take part in activities that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. It also give parents a well earned break from the constant care required by the child. This takes the pressure off parents and enables them to rest, spend time with their other children or take part in other activities that most people take for granted. The relief of stress to the family unit as a whole in turn benefits the child and his/her siblings. Costs Costs of the program include the salary of the Activity Co-ordinator, four part time Activity Workers, and equipment costs (Developmental and Recreational toys).
