  Integrated Play Groups Field Manual is a guide that offers an introduction to the basic principles and techniques that comprise the Integrated Play Groups model. Pamela Wolfberg translates theory into effective and meaningful practice, giving practitioners, parents and other caregivers the tools to initiate peer play groups for children in school, home and community settings. The model's approach encourages and promotes genuine play between novice & expert players. Children learn not only how to play together but how to relate to one another in play. Suggests using each child's unique interests and then scaffolding their play rather than using a highly-structured, adult-directed approach. Manual includes assessment tools besides offering instructions about play and communication intervention strategies.
