In October 2015 at the annual APT International Conference in Atlanta, a new School Based-Registered Play Therapist (SB-RPT) credential was announced to begin in January 2016.

School Based-Registered Play Therapists (SB-RPT) are school counselors or school psychologists who hold a license from their state’s department of education, and who have satisfied the criteria described in the SB-RPT Guide.
