How can the DIR/Floortime approach help my child?

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 a three part DIR/Floortime series. Through this event, we will be helping families understand exactly what DIR and Floortime is.
