Using puppets for therapeutic purposes? You bet, and it works, with kids, teens, young adults and seniors! Often used in therapy, puppets are not only comforting, they serve as a buffer or transition object in the shape of a cuddly animal, playful little boy or energetic little girl. Used by a patient, the puppet makes it easier to talk, play and be affectionate, whether alone or with the therapist.
Here are the principal therapeutic uses of puppets:
• Facilitate communication with residents while developing affective bonds
• Serve as an intermediary between caregivers and users
• Promote dexterity and help maintain autonomy in everyday life
• Reassure, inspire trust and help develop feelings of tenderness
• Reduce stress and anxiety
We offer a selection of quality puppets in the form of dolls or animals, to be chosen to match the personality of the user and the goal desired. The therapist can also use the puppet to communicate messages to the patient.
