Clinicians and mentors talk about why they use the Kids on Bikes RPG. Why we picked the game to be used in the office. Then aspects of the system that are natural connections for its use in therapy.
Long Description:
This spring we dusted off our bikes and took our kids on an adventure. Clinicians and mentors talk about why they decided to use the Kids on Bikes (KoB) tabletop roleplaying game in sessions, for training and research. Why we picked and played the game, online, in the office, and just for fun. We specifically discuss aspects of the system that act as natural connections for its use in therapy. Members of Gaming Approaches Towards Education, LLC, The Bodhana Group, and The Rolling for Change Podcast discuss how it has been applied for adolescents and adults, who are dealing with Social Anxiety and Autism, moderated by one of the creators of KoB Doug Levandowski.
