Creativity at work

As I was looking at a speech therapist working with a child, I realized something: they are creative people.  It was not the first time I saw a speech therapist working with a child but it was the first time my lightbulb ignited on the creative part.  How?  They use play to work with children.  They can use some games like board games to work on the objectives.  It is not all the real rules of the game, but it is working anyway.  It doesn't seems to bother the children that the rules of the games aren't followed.  They seems happy to play with somebody.  I don't know if it work with all children.

I wonder how speech therapists came with that ideas but I find it was a bright idea that work very well.  What lead to this approach?  Was it with trial and error?  I am sure there are exception to that rule but I don't know if it is on a regular basis.  Does the speech therapists have a card in their sleeve for those children too?  I have much questions.  I wonder why?  Curiosity, for me, it strong when it comes with creativity.

I think it is a good application of crativity.  There are other too.  Knowledge is good.  Working on problem with what is available is good too.  Creativity is the spark to get everything into place and come up with a solution.  Reason is not an ead and the only way.  Creativity have it's part to play in every aspect of our modern world.  Creativity does not have to be evacuated of our lives just to satisfy raionality alone.  Both must work hand in hand.  It is how new technologies are made. how to work in tiny places, how to find a solution to a problem, etc...  Really, creativity is really useful.
