PLAY THERAPY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE LABORATORY
The Play Therapy Research and Practice Lab is a well- equipped multi- purpose laboratory for the use of our students, staff, research collaborators and play therapy service users. Located at RLG306 room A and B, two separate rooms are professionally designed and equipped for play therapy practice, family consultations, observations, training, and research practice. We encourage the development of play therapy practice and related research. We strive to train professional play therapists who will serve children and their families in Hong Kong Community.
