THE CUSTTAD NAME AND IMAGE



THE CUSTTAD IMAGE
This picture was produced by a boy from Royston Primary School who had been having bad dreams in which the main protagonists were Dracula and Freddie Krueger. Superman was added as he continued to talk about his dreams and agree that he might benefit from NOT watching any more scary videos.


THE CUSTTAD NAME

CUSTTAD is an acronym derived from the two core procedures of the approach which are called Talk and Draw and Making a Tray. More exactly it is taken from the words the Combined Use of Sand Trays and Talk And Draw.The name was devised in 1996 to assist with the write up of an evaluation of its use in a clinic setting.

THE CUSTTAD FACILITY IN THE CLINIC


THE BIG DESK FOR TALK AND DRAW




THE VIEW FROM THE DOOR




Each Custtad facility uses similar furniture and materials but they are all meant to make it as comfortable as possible for a child to step inside -particularly for anyone who may have been hesitating about accepting the invitation to use it
