💬 "I don't know where to start". It's a sentiment we probably all think of at times, especially when it comes to technology.

When it comes to adapting technology into your practice, there is however no one-size-fits-all solution.

➡ Technology needs are personal to each person and will differ for everyone.

➡ Therapy styles are different and not every digital tool will fit your practice.

That’s why PlaySpace CEO, Matt Cohen, is presenting at the ACTO Conference on Saturday November 9 to help you tailor your approach with flexible, intuitive tools. Whether you’re looking for interactive games, secure virtual playrooms, or simple ways to keep clients engaged, this session is designed to help navigate the digital landscape of digital tools and find the ones that feel right for you and your clients.

Join us to expand your digital toolkit!
