What are the new rules?
Effective October 1, 2000, up to 30 of the 150 didactic play therapy training
hours required by the Association for Play Therapy (APT), Inc. designations
of Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor
(RPT-S) can be earned via non-contact training. Also, Registered Play
Therapists and Supervisors must earn four (4) clock hours of supervisor
training over the next two continuing education renewal periods. Also,
up to 18 of the 36 hours required for RPT and RPT-S renewal can be non-contact
training; no more than 9 can be in play therapy.
How do the distance
learning classes in play therapy education work?
After paying for course registration, a student receives a syllabus with
the required textbooks, class assignments, and required videotapes. The
videotapes (a student selects only one for the course) and textbooks can
be purchased at a discounted rate from the APT Book Store. Students are
assigned an instructor that assignments are mailed or e-mailed to. Telephone
contact between students and instructors is also maintained. Students
keep track of their reading, videotape viewing, and telephone conference
time.
How may training hours
are available?
Courses are offered in 30 contact hours (3 semester hours), 20 contact
hours (2 semester hours), and 10 contact hours (1 semester hour) formats.
The student chooses which type of class they want based on the number
of hours of continuing education or play therapy education needed.
How much do the classes
cost?
Courses cost $175.00 per semester hour. Textbooks and videotapes are purchased
separately, but videotapes are only required for 3 semester hour/30 contact
hour classes.
Are other types of
distance learning classes available?
Yes – contact the School
for inquiries. For example, classes in family therapy for students interested
in Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
(LMFT) licensure in their state or AAMFT Clinical Member status are available.
Are the distance learning
classes approved by the APT?
The Colorado School for Family Therapy has candidacy status with the
COAMFTE of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, 1133
Fifteenth St. NW, Suite 300, Washington DC 20005-2710; 202-452-0109. The
