Description: Play is the natural world of the child and necessary for healthy development. It is the place and time to imagine, create and express, to experiment, practice, rehearse and to master, to communicate and cooperate, to heal and to grow. Play is the first language of the child. It is fun and the serious work of a child. It is only natural, then, to use play in therapy with children. Come play, in this break in your day, and gain an insight into how you might use play in your therapy room. Please, bring with you, a toy from your childhood (or a replica or drawing of that toy).

Directions: Directions: From I-40 , whether approaching from the east or west on I-40, take Exit 50-A which is Highway 25 South (Hendersonville Road). Head south on Hendersonville Rd. At the second stoplight, turn right on Vanderbilt Park Drive. Stay on Vanderbilt Park Drive, which will make a turn to the right behind the Asheville Cardiology building. Proceed to the roundabout and go about halfway around. You will see the Mission Reuter Children's Outpatient Building and directional signs to the left for parking.
