Summary of Approach
We built a way to interact with toys in AR to help therapists engage in Child-Centered Play Therapy remotely.

Subject-Matter/Problem Background
Child-Centered Play Therapy involves children expressing their feelings by playing with toys (dolls, puppets, dress-up, etc) when they don't have the words to express themselves. With remote therapy (more common thanks to the pandemic), this is made more difficult.
