Floortime All the Time and Everywhere!
Did you know Floortime can be done anywhere? We will help you learn skills that can be used in the house, backyard, grocery store, and at the playground. Also, unlike other therapeutic approaches, you do not need a professional in your home for hours on end. This is something you can do at home with your child while engaging in every day events and tasks. Certified DIRFloortime practitioners coach you and give you the skills you need to enter your child's world & engage in joyful, positive interactions.
Floortime can include everyone - other children, siblings, peers, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, teachers, etc. It can be done at any time of the day, too!
Floortime can be done in the car, when doing laundry, eating breakfast, getting dressed, and washing the dishes – all the time, everywhere!
Our services & supports will help you challenge and expand your child’s development through a respectful, playful, and joyful process that will keep your child engaged. The key requirement is that you and your child enjoy these moments!
