What is Neuro-Dramatic-Play (NDP)

Sarah Hutchinson

Updated: Feb 1

Neuro-Dramatic-Play (NDP) is a play-based intervention that can help children develop attachments, trust, and self-esteem. It can also be an effective approach for children who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. NDP was developed by Dr. Sue Jennings and is based on the idea that play is essential for children's development. 

NDP focuses on the following play stages: sensory play, messy play, rhythmic play, and dramatic play. 

NDP can help people: Become more playful and think outside the box, Be more independent and self-reliant, Affirm their identity and self-esteem, and Build social relationships. 

NDP training is available for clinicians, educators, and parents. The training modules include: playful attachment, sensory and messy play, rhythmic and dramatic play, sand play, and embodiment-projection-role. Assessment includes reflective practise with small groups, observations of children, gathering, making and documenting of resources to use including a monster puppet and sensory bag.
