This document discusses the importance and benefits of play-based therapy and early intervention for young children. Play is freely chosen, intrinsically motivated activity that is guided by imagination rather than rules. It allows children to learn through meaningful and relevant activities that develop problem-solving skills, concentration, discovery, interaction and exploration while practicing new skills. The document outlines stages of play and provides examples of play-based activities that can be done at home or in a therapeutic setting to foster learning and development in a natural way for children.
