WA4PT Fall Conference Series

Sara Loftin, MS, LPC-S, RPT-S is going to be working with us to provide a training called Scared of Shots: Play Therapy with Chronic Illness and Medical Anxiety. She will be presenting on how medical anxiety impacts children with chronic medical conditions, children with minor or acute illnesses or injuries, and healthy children.  The audience will gain insight into the developmental needs of children experiencing medical anxiety and/or chronic illnesses and tools to enhance their practice.  Specifically, participants will gain insight into working with children with chronic illnesses, including changes to assessment, various common pediatric illnesses, necessary collaboration, and the impact of illness on development. Participants will explore facilitating play therapy with children and working with caregivers.
