At the heart of Making Play Just Right: Unleashing the Power of Play in Occupational Therapy is the belief that pediatric occupational therapy is most effective when it incorporates play. The Second Edition is a unique resource that provides the background, history, evidence, and general knowledge needed to use a playful approach in pediatric occupational therapy. The text provides specific examples to help therapists use activity analysis with professional reasoning to best adopt these strategies. The Second Edition has been expanded to include a variety of new topics, including play in the schools, international influences, parent-child play, and much more.
