How to use therapy games over telehealth
- Open the game before the session, and pick the kids or adult setting where there is one.
- Share your screen and press Present mode, so the game fills the screen in large print.
- Let the client tell you what to tap, or send them the link so they can play on their own device.
- Close the tab when you are done. Nothing is saved, so there is nothing to delete.
Who these are for
Therapists and counselors working with children, teens, adults, families and groups, in the office or by video. School counselors and teachers use them for check-ins and social emotional learning, and parents use the printables at home. Every game page explains how to use it in a session.
