Play Therapy Multiculturally Inclusive Playroom Starter Kit

The increased cultural diversification of the U.S. child population calls for play therapists’ action to constantly examine their cultural sensitivity and inclusivity in current clinical practice. 

Based upon a study by Chung and colleagues (2023), the Multicultural Playroom Starter Kit is designed to provide a play therapist with a selection of multiculturally inclusive toys in line with Garry Landreth's playroom toy categories.
