Child-Centered Documentation (Jumping Mouse)
This training is essential for practitioners of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), providing an integrated framework for treatment planning, progress assessment, clinical documentation, and caregiver involvement. Participants will learn to create treatment plans and documentation that utilize symptom-focused goals while honoring CCPT principles. The training covers methods for assessing progress in play therapy, offering specific ways to observe shifts in play that indicate progress and providing a framework to trust the process under pressure. Additionally, the program addresses clinical documentation, reviewing requirements, note formats, and the use of objective language to track progress accurately. It also emphasizes caregiver involvement, offering tools and strategies to collaborate effectively, identify caregiver needs, work towards parenting goals, and enhance understanding and support of the therapeutic process. This holistic approach equips therapists to enhance their practice, meet external demands, and facilitate meaningful change in their child clients.
