Hi! I'm Sara, and I understand the unique challenges families face when managing toy safety at home. With my background in special education and years of experience working with families, I've seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be to keep track of toys coming from various sources, managing play spaces for children of different ages, and adapting environments for children with disabilities. My PhD research and practical experience have given me insights into what actually works in real homes, not just what looks good in parenting magazines. Through ToyScope, I share straightforward, practical approaches that respect your family's unique dynamics while keeping children safe. I look forward to connecting with you and addressing the specific toy safety concerns in your home!

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is specifically designed for play therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and other clinicians who use toys and play materials in therapeutic settings. I have created separate events for educators and families to address their unique challenges.

How is this different from standard toy safety information?

The content is tailored to therapeutic contexts where the goal is often to work just outside a child's comfort zone. We'll address how to maintain safety while still creating the necessary therapeutic challenge, including considerations for regression and emotional dysregulation that are common in therapeutic processes.

What if I cannot attend the live sesion?

All registered participants will receive access to the recording of the main presentation for 30 days after the event. Recording will include the main presentation only, I will not be recording the Q&A session.

Do I need any technology or preparation?

You will just need a device with internet access and Google Meets installed or accessible via browser. No special materials are required, though having a notepad might be useful.

How interactive is the session?

The first 60 minutes will be presentation-based with some interactive elements. The final 30 minutes are dedicated to your questions and specific challenges. You can submit questions via chat or Q&A function during the session.

Is this really free?

Yes, it is 100% free. I believe that learning about safety must be accessible to everyone because it is essential, not a luxury.
