A listing does not guarantee a place or funding.

Play Therapy UK β€” practitioner information
Professional resource

Play Therapy UK provides information and a practitioner register. Check the actual practitioner’s register entry, qualifications, child experience, location, safeguarding arrangements and fees. A general directory listing does not establish autism expertise or a universal age range.

Check the individual service rather than assuming eligibility.

Porchlight β€” Children & Young People's Services
CharityService scope needs confirmation

Porchlight is a Kent charity with support services described on its website. The homepage does not substantiate the specific developmental or play-therapy programme previously claimed here. Check the current service, age eligibility and referral arrangements directly.

Do not treat a general charity listing as a clinical play-therapy offer.
