In sessions we will share, discuss, debate and collaborate on all things games! Each week will cover a different theme: e.g. Pokémon, Minecraft, LEGO, Roblox, Mario.
- Sessions start with a check-in
All members can share an experience/event, item (including photographs), or a fun and interesting fact with the group!
Members are encouraged to comment and ask each other questions. - We review the ‘game plan’ for the session.
Establish game rules/expectations where necessary. - Members then undertake in a structured, collaborative activity (e.g. structured build) around the weekly theme.
This is facilitated by the clinician. - Members undertake a less-structured activity (e.g. free build)
Members are encouraged to be as creative as they’d like. - Reflections and goodbyes.
Discussions of wins and challenges.
The therapist will scaffold self- and peer- reflections.
