Diana Garza-Louis:
As child and play therapists encounter children referred for sexual behavior problems, it is important to keep in mind that young children (under age 12) are not considered “sex offenders.” Their sexual development is at a level where sexual impulses and sexual fantasies as seen in adolescents and adults are very different, and sexual intent for sexual gratification is often questionable. Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy interventions help children increase awareness of thoughts and feelings and teaches skills to manage problematic sexual behavior.  

Juliet Fortino:
Many children with histories of sexual abuse struggle with problematic sexual behaviors. This training will review common symptoms and behaviors seen in child and play therapy sessions, as well as uniquely distinguishing characteristics of juvenile perpetrators versus sexually acting out children. Play therapy techniques specific to this population will be explored.
Original recording date: November 3, 2021 Length: 182 minutes
Learning Objectives:
Upon the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Diana Garza-Louis:
  • Identify age-appropriate sexual behaviors and red flags to inappropriate sexual behaviors in children that need therapeutic intervention.
  • Implement tools to assess problematic sexual behavior.
  • Utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy techniques to assist children in managing problematic sexual behavior.
Juliet Fortino:
  • Identify problematic sexual behaviors commonly seen in therapy sessions.

Alex McLaughlin, MSW, LGSW

This training exceeded my expectations. As a pre-licensed therapist, I learned so much about Sand Tray therapy, but also play therapy in general, and various seminal theories (theoretical orientations) that can inform my practice. I walked away feeling confident in implementing sand tray therapy with clients. Dr. April is clearly knowledgeable, and is a skilled therapist, as well as presenter - she made the training fun, authentic and engaging (even as someone that watched the recorded session). It was nice to have the option to take this as a recorded training so I could complete it on my own time, and at my own pace.

Quneetsha Minor- Hunter School of Education

I'm happy I attended the course. I learned a lot of tools and innovative resources to engage children online. It is hard to plan and try to retain the focus of children through a monitor, but the techniques and ideas provided are fun, and children love fun. If they do not feel like it is a session or exercise, they will look forward to meeting the counselor weekly or during the scheduled time. The facilitator did a great job giving examples and including attendees to participate. Although I was in the crowd, she made me feel like a happy kid in the session. She does an amazing job with her tone, occasional smiles and making the attendees feel welcome. I will use some of what I learned today and apply it to my practice.

I loved all the resources shared, and never felt I was sitting through a 'sales pitch'! It is ever so important to have a variety of resources available - many of the presenters happily shared options! There were a few presenters who simply 'read' their power point - (not as engaging!); and one or two who spoke WAY too fast for anyone who was taking notes (good thing there is access to the recording!). Overall, however - the "learning" was fun, the information relevant (& current) and the variety of presenters and backgrounds & theory bases made for an excellent presentation! ...AND a fun-filled way to start my day!

As a clinical psychologist and Registered Play Therapist I have had decades of training and taken countless seminars. Lynn Louise Wonders' 20 Play Therapy Interventions for Anxiety with Older Children was a delightful surprise. Her enthusiasm and deep understanding of what it takes to engage this sometimes difficult age group by using creative and engaging strategies is the best I have ever seen. The strategies were indeed creative yet presented with succinct clarity and straightforward instructions. Sometimes these seminars can be tedious at the end of which one wonders what of this will I actually use, but every strategy she taught made intuitive sense for the play therapy process and was easy to grasp. I eager to try them. At the end, she presents several short well done psycho-educational videos that could be used directly with our clients and sprinkles the entire presentation with resources. Thank-you for this engaging educational experience .

Sueann Kenney-Noziska and Liana Lowenstein provided so much insight on how to facilitate a strong supervisory experience and how best to meet supervisee's where they are at in their professional and educational training. I appreciated the variety of interventions and techniques that could be adapted with client's and families as well as with supervisee's. The handouts and examples are wonderful and super helpful! I appreciated how they engaged the audience during the presentation and allowed for feedback and other's to participate or share experiences. The role playing was helpful to listen to as well. This was a very engaging, fun, and valuable training to listen to!. I would definitely recommend!
