Carefully and playfully. Assessment is woven into rapport-building rather than imposed as a formal evaluation, and caregivers are partners throughout.
When delivered by a trained child specialist, yes. With children, EMDR is typically integrated with play-based interventions to ensure pacing and felt safety.
