“…He had a good memory for recent personal events and was developing non-verbal and verbal communication skills over a short space of time. The cause of his developmental delay and passivity, therefore, was more likely due to earlier abusive experiences (Claussen, & Crittenden, 1991;Crittenden, 1985;White, & Allers, 1994). Claussen and Crittenden (1991) demonstrate that different forms of abuse are intercorrelated, which in turn increases developmental risks for children such as Patrick.…”

“…Vilozni, et al 1994). The rich literature that describes the use of puppetry as a therapeutic, educational, and social tool (e.g., White, J.& Allers, C. T.,1994, Vidler, 1972Currant, 1985;Carter, 1987;Caputo, 1993) also shows the benefits of technology. For example researchers have found that the use of puppets as a mediating technology can produce more expressive communication patterns among children who are in crisis or have on-going emotional, behavioral or academic challenges.…”

We are developing a prototype storytelling robot for use with children in rehabilitation. Children can remotely control a large furry robot by using a variety of body sensors adapted to their disability or rehabilitation goal. In doing so, they can teach the robot to act out emotions (e.g. sad, happy, excited) and then write stories using the storytelling software and include those emotions in the story. The story can then be "played" by the remote controlled robot, which acts out the story and the emotions. We believe that this robot can motivate the children and help them reach their therapy goals through therapeutic play, either by exercising muscles or joints (e.g. for physically challenges children) or by reflecting on the expression of emotions (e.g. for autistic children). We use an innovative design methodology involving children as design partners.

Since that time, play therapy has become an increasingly implemented therapy option for children (O’Connor, 1991; White & Allers, 1994). There have been several attempts to analyze the effects of play therapy and determinants that lead to successful therapy.…”

The results of a meta-analysis of play therapy research are presented with an emphasis on characteristics of therapy that predicted treatment outcomes. Results of the analysis are based on experimental and quasiexperimental studies of play therapy. The results indicate that play therapy has a moderate positive effect on treatment outcomes with children. Parental involvement and treatment duration were significantly related to treatment outcome. Studies that involved therapy for 30-35 sessions produced the greatest effect. Nonsignificant predictors of treatment outcome are discussed.
