Member Survey Results


The results are in! The Annual Membership Survey provides APT the opportunity to gather valuable member feedback to keep improving resources, programs, and benefits. With the addition of APT’s Instagram page in 2019 and the ever-growing presence of technology, this year’s survey focused on our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram). Survey questions assessed member satisfaction on current content/posts, engagement with plat- forms, and the type of content they would want to see. Here are some of the results:


Members indicated they were actively engaged in: · Facebook: 73.12% · Instagram: 41.94% · Twitter: 9.68%


Members indicated they would like to see APT post more about: · Research on play therapy and child related topics · Conferences and opportunities for play therapy training · Member accomplishments and recognition · News from state branches · Volunteer opportunities


Thank you to everyone who participated! APT appreciates your feedback and continued support.
