Additionally, by hearing the other presentations and participating in the experiential exercises, students will gain familiarity with a range of different types of play therapy models and interventions. During the first in-person weekend, students will sign up for a topic from a list of different areas of interest within play therapy. (Students are also able to propose a different topic if they wish.) Groups of approximately 3 students each will prepare a 45-minute presentation on that topic, which will be presented in class during our second in-person weekend. Please see the Canvas rubric for more details regarding grading. Group presentations should include the following information specific to the area of focus or modality: Information regarding the target population The role of the clinician The theory of change or goals Core components: Theoretical main ideas or core concepts Interventions: Where do services take place? What does a session look like? Are any specific materials needed? Education or training required: How would a clinician learn how to practice this?

As the instructor, I am operating under the assumption that everyone is participating and contributing actively and equitably and thus, everyone in the group will receive the same grade. If you have any concerns regarding this during the presentation preparation process, please get in contact with me, ideally before the presentation when there may still be time to address it. Scoring Criteria: 1. - Presentation was clearly organized - Presentation included all required content and conveyed it with accuracy - Time used effectively 2. - Experiential exercise supported students' understanding of the modality either through directly practicing modality interventions or seeing/hearing examples of their use 3. - Presentation demonstrated a thorough understanding of key concepts of the modality - Presentation thoughtfully addressed ethical issues related to the modality - Presentation examined the research-based evidence for the modality - Students presented both strengths and critiques of the modality
