DIR® FLOORTIME

This therapeutic approach comprises of a comprehensive framework that enables the therapist in conjunction with parents to identify children's specific challenges and overcome them in order to enhance their communication, cognitive thinking and relating to enable participation at home, school and social situations.

What is Floortime?
Floortime is one aspect of the DIR® model and incorporates the therapist/adult engaging and relating to the child through actively playing using the natural interests the child.
Play initially begins by following the child’s lead but then expands to being challenging this play in order to develop and extend the child’s individuals abilities.
Floortime aims to build a strong relationship between parent and child the by assisting the parent to tune into the child’s need and interests and enter their world and then expanding it.
