Boys and Girls Come in to Play

Synopsis: Explains the evolution of a co-ordinated play programme to help children overcome personal and medical difficulties. The importance of stimulating play is illustrated, both in group situations and in one to one child-adult relationships with trained hospital play workers. The value of play in the treatment of physically and mentally handicapped children is demonstrated and the resulting improvement in confidence and ability is shown. Examples of work with children in a hydrotherapy pool, with physiotherapists, speech therapists and play therapists are included. The film stresses the need to continue treatment and to stimulate play at home with the involvement of the family.
