DIR Floortime

The DIR®/Floortime™ Model was developed by Stanley Greenspan, MD, and Serena Wieder, PhD. Its objective is to build healthy foundations for social, emotional, and intellectual capacities rather than focusing on skills and isolated behaviors. The model examines Development which is the foundation for all interaction, Individual Differences which are the biologically-based ways each of us take in and use sensory information, and is Relationship-Based, which refers to the learning relationships with caregivers, educators, therapists, peers, and others who tailor their affect based interactions to the child’s individual differences and developmental capacities to enable progress in mastering the essential foundations*.
