A digital sand tray, built into the chart. Not a separate app.
A digital sand tray, Synergetic Play Therapy templates, and child-centered regulation tools — without paying for a separate sand tray app.
Play happens in the room. Documentation usually happens elsewhere.
- Sand tray app, separate subscription
- An AI scribe that wants to record the session
- Parent consults loose-leafed
- Child-centered work, generic templates
Most play therapists run three or four tools. The same chart, every kid, would be enough.
Child and play therapy is documented through themes, engagement, and affect, often alongside caregiver collateral — a different shape from adult talk-therapy notes. CoralEHR offers free expressive tools built for telehealth and the room (a virtual sand tray, a feelings volcano, a worry-muncher game) and a notes workflow that drafts from your observations of the play, not from a recording. The expressive work and its documentation finally live in the same place.
