Toy Assisted Therapy
Taxonomy Code: RP-8000.8500
Programs in which therapists use puppets, stuffed animals or other surrogates to help children talk about a traumatic event (e.g., child sexual abuse) and begin to recover from the ordeal. Children are encouraged to talk to the toy rather than directly to the therapist, thus helping them to open up and start the healing process.
