DIRFloortime®: Helping Parents Work with Children with Developmental Delays
In this workshop, you will learn about the DIRFloortime® techniques developed by Stanley Greenspan, MD and Serena Wieder, PhD. DIR® focuses on the child-parent (or caregiver) relationship as the heart of learning and development. You will learn how to play with your child to better support his/her development and emotional growth. The individualized family mentoring sessions tightly couple theory and practice to help you master specific skills to help your child. This class is suitable for parents of children ages 2 to 10, with issues of behavior, regulation, communication or developmental delays.
We will discuss children and look at videotapes of child play to understand how DIRFloortime® may help your child:
√ Improve attention.
√ Engage with you more strongly.
√ Be more calm and organized.
√ Communicate more effectively.
√ Play with more complexity.
√ Better understand themselves and others.
