How DIR/Floortime Help My Child: the Perspective of a Mental Health Therapist

There are many options of treatment methodologies when it comes to helping your child. After getting an initial diagnosis, parents often feel perplexed as they are making therapeutic decisions for their child.

As part of the many treatment options out there, DIR is often one that is recommended, and yet it can feel very overwhelming to understand what DIR and Floortime is. Why consider this approach for your child? Please join us for the final presentation of our three-part DIR/Floortime series! Through this event, we will be helping families understand exactly what DIR and Floortime is and how it is utilized with mental health professionals. As well as taking a deeper dive into what emotional regulation is.

This presentation is continuation of the last DIR/Floortime Parent University presented on September 12th, 2023. If you would like to view that presentation, please go over to the event page in the Parent University calendar and view the recorded presentation.
