Child Life specialists work one-on-one with children and often use role-playing to identify fears and concerns. With this method, children act out experiences they have had in the hospital and Child Life specialists address any fears communicated during play.
Children's Hospital has several playrooms which are filled with games, books, toys and art supplies. All the playrooms are considered "safe" rooms where no medical procedures can be performed. Child Life specialists coordinate the activities of trained volunteers who supervise patient play activities in the play rooms and at the beside.
