New Policy On Revoked Credentials
The Association for Play Therapy (APT) is committed to transparency, public protection, and maintaining high standards for credentialed play therapists. To support these goals, APT has implemented a new policy on publishing revoked credentials. To understand this process developed with the help of APT Ethics and Registration & CE Committee members, we encourage you to read the Letter to Members.
For more information, including the purpose of this new transparency measure and how it supports our commitment to professional standards, please visit the APT public FAQ page.
