Abstract

Educating caregivers on early childhood development can empower them to use therapeutic play to support their child’s growth in life skills. This project aimed to enhance caregivers' understanding of play-based strategies that promote resilience during early development. The educational tool was designed for occupational therapists to share with caregivers of children receiving OT services. It simplifies key developmental milestones related to play, social interaction, and the foundational skills needed to build resilience. The occupational therapy team reported that the tool is both relevant and practical for pediatric use, and they believe it will support therapeutic carryover at home.
