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. Children have challenges with traditional academics until they master their Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities.
Individual Differences
Each child has individual processing differences that vary greatly from child to child. These need to be looked at to inform our understanding of how our child interacts with us.
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 ahead in their development.
Floortime
Floortime is joining in the child’s interests to bring the child into a shared world where we create systematic, playful challenges to help the child master each developmental capacity.
