Play to Progress - Lead Your Child to Success Using the Power of Sensory Play

A game-changing book on child development - and the importance of physical play - for this digital and screen age.

About the author

Dr Allie Ticktin's mission is to empower children and their families through sensory play so that they can thrive through childhood and beyond. Allie uses the science of child development and the joy of play to boost children's confidence and enhance development within all areas of their life, from social and emotional to physical and academic. She believes that the best way to support children is by arming their parents, from inception, with the knowledge and skills necessary to encourage their child's development for success through childhood and beyond.

Allie began her work in paediatric development at the University of Michigan, where she earned her bachelor's degree in movement science, and continued her studies at University of Southern California, where she received her master's and clinical doctorate in occupational therapy. Allie is certified in sensory integration and hopes that one day quality, open-ended play will be considered as important as learning the ABCs.
