The sessions can vary in structure depending if they are a one-off or as part of on-going weekly sessions, but generally you can expect:
Games are either done as a group, in pairs or played one-to-one between child and carer.
Sessions are always prepared to be appropriate for the age of the children. Where the group is mixed age, the games are designed to be played in different ways depending on the child's stage of development. For children pre-language, the focus of playing is on non-verbal communication and using music and other sensory input. Once language begins, games can be played to use the child's developing language skills.
Sessions normally last around 45 minutes but for tailored sessions can be as short as 30mins or as long as an hour.
