Learn more about our ACAP Course
Adult-Child Attachment Play (ACAP) is an innovative early help model that focuses on strengthening the adult/carer – child relationship. Watch the film above where Becky, our Head of Therapy tells you more.
The ACAP practitioner primarily works with the child in a one to one setting. The intervention is aimed at children 3+ to late teens. It can be offered to both neurotypical and neurodiverse children and adapted according to the child’s need. The ACAP model integrates both theory and practical so that practitioners are confident in the 'Why' and the 'How' in delivering this innovative, creative and effective intervention.
This approach supports children to feel soothed by the adults at school, allowing them to focus on their learning and friendships.
This online programme focuses on exploring 3 key skills:
- Child-led play
- Containment (helping the child to feel safe through managing time, space and the wider environment, as well as to support emotional regulation)
- Reflective functioning (we like to call this empathy with bells and whistles). RF is what researchers have found to be key in all securely attached relationships

Who is this training for?
