Based on what has become the “new normal,” the directors have been exploring telepractice and treatment practices for working remotely with children. Currently, there are various online teleplay training programs that offer helpful, initial engagement strategies. RMPTI is working on training material to address the play therapy process in a more in-depth manner via teleplay.
We strongly advise all students/practitioners to check with their registration/college to confirm protocol and confidentiality surrounding telehealth practices before incorporating teleplay in your practice. Please note that specific client consent is required prior to offering teleplay services.
