ABSTRACT

Hardware is a key part of digital play therapy (DPT). It is essential for you to have designated equipment for your office as a professional investment. Different types of current hardware will be discussed, such as digital cameras, smart phones, tablets, gaming consoles, computers, and extended reality. It is important to discover what materials you will need in your everyday practice to help your clients while incorporating the 4 Cs to help you thrive. One of the key concepts of this chapter is that not every aspect of DPT will work for your practice or clients, and that is okay. There are many types of hardware to choose from, and the savvy play therapist can find what fits their practice and clientele the best.
