Development Happens Through Relationships Across a Lifetime
Invite out and support your child's developmental potentialWe Advocate for the Developmental, Individual differences, Relationship-based (DIR®) Approach for Children with Developmental Differences
Developmental
This approach is developmental in nature, not behavioural. We look at our child’s Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities to meet them where they are, developmentally.
Individual Differences
Each child has individual processing differences that vary greatly from child to child which inform our understanding of how our child interacts with us and how we can interact with them.
Relationship-based
With genuine affect, we create those warm & nurturing learning relationships that are tailored to a child’s individual differences and will help support the child moving forward in their development.
Floortime
Floortime is joining in the child’s interests to invite the child into a shared world where we create systematic, playful challenges to help the child master each developmental capacity.
