Modalities

For those new to digital play therapy (DPT), it may be perceived that it only exists through particular digitally delivered methods or procedures. Modalities are the building blocks in the actual practice of play therapy and can change over time depending on your clients and their cultural needs. This includes so many aspects such as storytelling, sand play, guided imagery play, music play, drawings, board game play, virtual reality, electronic game play, and movement. All of these fall under the DPT umbrella. This chapter informs the reader how DPT encompasses these modalities and provides another way to meet the client’s needs within sessions.
