About the event
Discover the science behind why play is essential—not optional—for cognitive growth, emotional regulation, and trauma recovery. Dr Aiono will unpack how play strengthens executive functioning, fosters connection, and creates safe, inclusive spaces for all learners. This interactive session will help RTLB understand:
- The neuroscience linking play, attention, and memory
- How play-based approaches build social–emotional competence and resilience
- The intersection between play pedagogy and trauma-informed practice
- Practical ways to integrate play within literacy, numeracy, and behaviour support
Play isn’t just fun—it’s the foundation of learning and wellbeing. Let’s rediscover its power to help every child thrive.
