Dr. Margaret Hindman, assistant professor of counselor education, was selected to serve on the Association for Play Therapy's Ethics Committee and to be a lead reviewer of the Association for Play Therapy's Paper on Touch, a paper to help guide practitioners with clinical and ethical considerations about the appropriate use of touch in therapeutic work with children. 

Hindman was initially chosen as one of the 36 selected reviewers. She was later made the lead of the ethics section, then was made one of the final three reviewers for the document, based on her work as a lead on the ethics touch paper.
