The Interplay units can be easily integrated into the existing curriculum. Individual children can take advantage of Interplay through stories that provide metaphorical models of heroes and heroines struggling with different obstacles. Children attend to the message in the stories because they find a mirror where they see their own difficulties. As the hero struggles and overcomes obstacles, the child discovers a path she can follow to change her life. These stories deal with typicial problems like controlling one's temper as well as issues more common for children with developmental disabilities such as ADHD or Asperger's Disorder.
Stories can be custom designed for a child's individual situation and problems.
Each story comes with a Interplay Story Guide, which offers specific suggestions that can be implemented to increase the effectiveness of the story.
