Choosing Play: Applying a DIR/Floortime Approach in Your Family

DARIA BROWN, MA, DIR-ADVANCED

DIR/Floortime is a parent-mediated approach that can be applied in various settings of everyday life by caregivers. Participants will see a case study of how DIR/Floortime was applied in one family over a 10-year period and how caregivers can mediate their interactions with their autistic child throughout the phases of the child’s development by taking into account their individual sensory processing profiles and individual differences, and by using their relationship with their child to foster a sense of safety and security.
