“…While play therapy is a widely used mode of treatment for children, preadolescents may find the toys in a conventional playroom juvenile (Ginott, 1961;Ginott, 1994). Slavson (1945) first suggested the need for a specialized treatment for preadolescents, one that provides a setting and activities consistent with the developmental needs of this age group (Bratton & Ferebee, 1999;Krall & Irvin, 1973;Schiffer, 1969). According to Piaget (1977), preadolescent children are in the concrete operational stage of development, yet on the cusp of developing abstract thought.…”

Modifying the playroom and activities to specifically meet the needs of preadolescents, this study examined the effectiveness of group play/activity therapy as a school-based intervention with fourth and fifth grade learning disabled preadolescents exhibiting behavior problems. A pre-test, post-test control group design in which volunteer preadolescents were randomly assigned to either the control or treatment group was used. The group play/activity therapy intervention followed humanistic principles and was designed to address the cognitive and social-emotional needs of preadolescence.

Effect size was calculated for each composite scale and subscale to determine practical significance of the treatment on the

“…While play therapy has been widely used as a developmentally appropriate mode of treatment for children, preadolescents may find the toys in a conventional playroom juvenile (Ginott, 1961). Slavson (1945) first suggested the need for a specialized treatment for preadolescents, one that provides a setting and activities consistent with the developmental needs of this age group (Bratton & Ferebee, 1999;Krall & Irvin, 1973;Schiffer, 1969). Although cognitively preadolescent children are in the concrete operational stage they are beginning to develop the capacity for abstract thought (Piaget, 1964).…”
