Spring Conference
Each year, Ohio Association for Play Therapy has a 2 day Spring Conference in April.
All are welcome to attend. Ohio Association for Play Therapy members receive a discounted rate for the conference.
At the Spring Conference, there is an open board meeting so members can hear about board positions, upcoming changes, and communicate questions and interests.
The Spring Conference is also the time when we honor an outstanding Play Therapist with an award. This individual can be nominated by any of our Ohio APT members!
