Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing therapeutic play with general recreational play; failing to articulate the clinical purpose and intended therapeutic benefits.
- Overlooking the importance of obtaining valid consent from the child and family before initiating play activities.
- Providing play resources without first assessing the child's infection control status or specific medical restrictions.
