Welcome to Learn Play Grow! My name is Rebecca, and I created Learn Play Grow to help you foster connection in your families, communication between your colleagues, and collaboration among your teams. If you are a parent wanting to connect with your child, a teacher wanting to help your students succeed, a therapist looking to maximize intervention, or a school striving for best practices, Learn Play Grow is for YOU.

Learn Play Grow specializes in creative play-based learning. Play is a brilliant way to bring goals and strategies from school and therapy to life at home and in the community. My students and I have learned sight words using Star Wars and slingshots, social skills using Hungry Hippos and Yeti In My Spaghetti, language skills using puppets and puzzles, literacy skills using drama and dance, and math skills using toy food and treasure maps. 

Learn Play Grow empowers parents to become champions for their children through parent coaching and educational consulting. Parent coaching helps families create a peaceful home life by establishing clear expectations, providing supportive limits, and following through consistently. Educational consulting helps families understand their children’s strengths and challenges and what supports and settings can help them reach their greatest potential. 

Learn Play Grow strengthens schools and builds community through training, coaching, and inclusion support. Teacher training and classroom coaching help educators build on their strengths and best reach their learners. Inclusion support helps schools and community organizations embody equity of opportunity for people of all abilities. I have supported inclusion working one on one with children in schools and camps and trained administrators and leaders in how to create cultures and practices of inclusion.

Stay tuned for tools and strategies on the blog and inspiration on social media to help your family, practice, or school learn, play, and grow to success, and please share your comments, questions, and stories!
