Welcome to SHAPT!

Welcome to the The Sam Houston Chapter of the Texas Association for Play Therapy (SHAPT). SHAPT is the local arm of the Texas Association for Play Therapy, a branch of the Association for Play Therapy. The purpose of SHAPT is to provide a forum for discussion of play therapy ideas and concerns.
