the research paper should explore Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how Non-Directive Play Therapy could be used as an effective modality with particular emphasis on 6 to 11 year olds. Part of the research may require the development of a more “Child Friendly” Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) questionnaire/measurement tool. If this has not already been developed. specific reference should be made to resilience and its importance. It will also be necessary to propose a methodology in terms of how the effectiveness will be measured in the play setting and by Play Therapists without additional paperwork burden. the new system should make life easier for Play Therapist to prove the validity of their role in overcoming ACEs whilst not be burdensome in terms of measurement.
