DIR/Floortime
|
|
DIR® stands for The Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-based Approach. This approach takes into account a child's feelings, relationships with caregivers, developmental milestones and individual differences in a child's ability to process and respond to sensory information. DIR focuses on the child's skills in all developmental areas, including social-emotional functioning, communication, thinking and learning, motor skills, body awareness, and attention. Floortime is a systematic way of working with a child to help him climb the developmental ladder by going back to the very first milestones and acquiring missing skills.
