THERAPHY
The ALP/Playground Approach is an effective framework for therapeutic practices, using play and active listening as tools for emotional expression, healing, and growth.

Trauma-informed therapy: Providing a safe space for processing emotions.
-
Family and group therapy: Strengthening relationships through collaborative play.
-
Developmental support: Helping individuals with neurodivergent traits build communication skills.
-
Playfulness (social mindfulness) and well-being: Encouraging self-awareness and stress reduction through play.
ALP-based therapy sessions are used in counseling centers, rehabilitation programs, and community mental health initiatives worldwide.
