Description

When: On your own time for period of 8 weeks.

This one-time recorded webinar puts together three complex structures of development in a concise way, supporting the participant in identification, assessment and intervention. Families gain in-depth understanding of what is necessary to become social. Therapists glean observational skills to support goal planning and projected outcomes. Through the generosity of one of our families, a video of an actual session will be used to showcase a session wherein all three constructs are at work in the way that only DIR/Floortime can provide. The video will show the simplicity of play that develops great complexity and DIR/Floortime always delivers!
