Center Mission Statement

Drawing upon recent brain and attachment research, the primary mission of the Center is to research and develop new systems for selecting, applying, and integrating play therapies (i.e., Theraplay-Based, Watch, Wait, and Wonder, and traditional play therapies such as Child Centered and Filial) with early intervention (sensory integration therapy, etc.), for children 0-8, at-risk for attachment, regulatory, and social-emotional disorders in clinical, school, and early childhood settings. The secondary mission of the Center is to develop and provide high-quality therapy, training, consultation, supervision, and related resource materials to facilitate implementation of these new brain-based systems of early intervention and intervention selection within clinical, school, and early childhood settings.
