how to be a play therapist?

You need to get either a master's degree or doctorate in clinical psychology, social work, or counseling.  A lot of them offer classes in play therapy, child psychopathology, etc.  Some people are certified play therapists- I don't know if that makes you more qualified or not.  Here is the website for the Association for Play Therapy.

in Canada, to work as a psychologist, you generally need a Masters degree, which it sounds like you are getting.  you would likely have a good chance of getting a position as a school counsellor with that.  to become a teacher, another program, called PDP at some institutions, is required, however.

Most schools have a physical therapy program,here in Illinois we do 2 years of general and science courses then we do the physical therapy program.\nYour first step should be to contact your school of choice and you should know if you desire a master's or doctorate degree in the future so that you can be sure that your courses will transfer.\nMy advice is to take your basic courses English,math,bio,chem and the like but make sure they transfer to all schools till you find a program.You will have to take lots of math,anatomy and physiology and chemistry courses so start with those.If you go to the website for your states unemployment office there should be links to occupations,and training and which schools near you are qualified to teach the program.\nThat would be my best advice make such the program is accredited because you could go to school but not be able to find a job if you choose the wrong school.Good luck.

Good first answer. I'd like to add to.\n\n  I suggest, RELAX, first, like wild animals Kinder Kids sense fear,,,smiles.\n  It may be a very strict, narrowly defined session? You don't say that.\n  In any case, think of the reasons you entered the challenging arena you did, present yourself with poise, tempered authority, charm, Youthfulness of spirit if not of age, and make certain that "interaction" happens as soon as you have their attention.\n  If it's a virtual situation, no kids, I'd decline to do the test, if I was in your shoes.\n  One of the greatest effects a teacher of Kinder kids can have is to also be a caregiver, MOM, DAD, playmate even. They already are on a level, not yours, but one they are growing into. Don't escalate them to levels they aren't ready for, without pacing the task.\n   Certainly some of this assumes  you already will have the job,,,smiles,,, but you can.\n   Formality may be the standard for many interviews. Credentials and experience certainly are taken into account. What is it that most attracts you, and what can you offer to "attract" THEM, (Kinderkids) That's as much the bottom line as what the administration thinks.\n\nBuena Fortuna\n\nRev. Steven

you need to be a little more specific.... are you asking how does someone already in broadcasting prepare to do a telecast/radio play by play, or are you asking how does one pursue a career in broadcasting?

Sure. Get some experience in community theatre. If you're good and you like it take some acting courses from your local college. They should have some contacts that can help you.

First off you don't need a Ba degree to teach Preschool. Not even in the headstart programs. You need to just go to your local community college and start their child devlopment program and hopefully continue on to get your AA or AS degree. I can tell you that in some places the child devlopment courses are no transferable to a 4 years college. Go and meet with a counselor first. If you have any plans of teaching in the Public School system as a Teacher I suggest that you take more course that are transferable. It is nice starting at a community college until you figure out what you truly want to do. You never know you may get in the Preschool and absolutely love it or decide you want to teach older kids or even younger. Good luck. Talk to a College counselor and they can point you in the right direction. Community college would be a good start and move on from there.

How to make shadow puppets.  You can find instructions on the internet.\n\nOf course, your hands are the props, but it would be good to bring a light.  Maybe there is already a slide projector or an overhead in the room.\n\nYou can also get everyone to participate by making them along with you.  You'll get an A.\n\nEven better, I once did one on how to survive an earthquake.     I talked a bit about earthquake survival, then started shaking and said, "Earthquake!" and swiftly left the room.  That got eveyone's attention.  After a few seconds, I came back in and explained the first technique is to exit the building if you won't be hit by falling debris.  As I wrapped that up, did the earthquake routine again and headed for the door, but when I got there, I braced myself in it and shook really hard.  Then I explained that bracing in the door is another way.  Then I did the pretend earthquake again and dove under a table.  The table was just the right height that I could be on all fours and press my back against the underside of the table.  So I shook real hard and the table jumped around.  Then I came out and explained that you can take cover under furniture.  Next I summarized and that was it!  It was a lot of fun.

The American Institute In Taiwan may be able to help you. They may point you in a general direction.\nIf not, you can try one of the several International and American schools in taiwan who have primary school children and must have playground equipment acquired from somewhere. Like Taipei American School or Taipei European SChool. Give them all an email. Hope that helps.

Call your local CPS (Child Protective Services) office...\nIf it isnt listed separately in your gov. section of the phone book - call DHHR and ask them for the local number.\nAsk what qualifications you need to be a case worker in that county.\nYou will definately need a high school diploma / GED to start with.  Child development classes in college are great to add to a Social Worker's Lic. (you need one to do this)\nWhile you are going to college... volunteer in your community and get to know what non-profit organizations your area has.\nGood Luck

First you have to be a licensed psychologist then research their website. Send them a letter of introduction with  2 attached letters of recommendations from teachers or colleagues, requesting an appointment to meet. The easiest way to get your foot in the door is through networking, knowing someone who can get you that first interview. Good luck!
