Exploratory Play
Exploratory content gives a place to start with materials and what a learner finds interesting.
Browse play content from exploration and cause-and-effect to construction, pretend play and playing alongside others. Leisure belongs in the picture as an individual interest, not simply a reward after other work.
The figures below describe the English reference library—not a learner’s plan or a promise that every item suits every child.
These examples come from this language’s reference catalog. They illustrate the scope; the figures above cover the whole category.
Exploratory content gives a place to start with materials and what a learner finds interesting.
Cause-and-effect play groups content around actions and their visible effects.
Object-play content focuses on familiar play materials and their uses.
Construction brings building and arranging into a distinct play-content area.
Pretend and symbolic play offers material for imagined roles and situations.
Different forms of playing alongside and with others are grouped without making one format compulsory.
Start with the learner’s context. Use the library to organize content while keeping clinical decisions within the individual plan.
Identify enjoyable materials and the participation context before choosing content.
Select play sets relevant to exploration, construction, imagination or shared activity.
Link selected content to an appropriate play or participation sub-goal, preserving individual choice.
A goal defines what the child will learn and how progress is measured. Targets provide practice items that can be used within it.
Explore more areas of communication, learning and everyday skills.
Find content for shared attention, greetings, conversational turns and following a topic. This category helps organize the social use of communication around interaction, with room for different ways of participating.
Explore potential preference items, activities, sensory materials and choice-making content. The catalog offers material to consider; it does not label an item as reinforcing for a particular person or decide what that person should prefer.
Explore movement, balance, body-position and coordination content in distinct groups. This category helps teams locate material for relevant physical-participation goals without presenting the catalog as an exercise prescription or a developmental assessment.
