About DIR Floortime
Frequently children with special needs are challenged by neurobiological factors, which make it difficult to participate and enjoy early emotional interactions with their parents. These shared interactions between parent and child that are meaningful, positive and pleasurable create the foundation necessary for all development. The DIRFloortime® model supports parents in their natural and pivotal partnership with their child – promoting their development across a wide range, including regulation, joint attention, communication and language, motor skills, cognition, ideation and execution, and social problem-solving. Floortime essentially means joining the child where they are, revisiting previously missed growth opportunities and moving forward.

Our Workshop
This introductory course will give parents, teachers and therapists, working with children who have relating and communication challenges (including those on the autistic spectrum) a greater understanding of their social emotional state and how this impacts upon their ability to function across different environments. This practical workshop will also provide insight as to how to interact therapeutically and give you DIR strategies to enable you to apply the DIR principles in your home and school environment
