DIRFloortime®
DIRFloortime® is a Developmental, Individual-differences, and Relationship-based model of support. It provides a framework for understanding and promoting human development across the lifespan. DIRFloortime® builds the foundation for social, emotional and cognitive capacities rather than focusing exclusively on skills or isolated behaviors. The model harnesses the power of relationships and play to empower every individual to reach their fullest potential.
DIRFloortime® promotes healthy development in all children, but it is especially powerful for children on the autism spectrum or with other developmental or emotional vulnerabilities. DIRFloortime® seeks to understand, accept and appreciate each person for who they are in their own unique way of being.
DIRFLOORTIME® INTERACTIONS
are catalysts for growth
Using DIRFloortime® Play Potential promotes a child's sense of self and agency by facilitating attuned relationships between the child and their caregiver. This creates a deep sense of security for a child. In safe, nurturing relationships the child feels validated, understood and connected. When a child feels this they can flourish and thrive.
Play Potential specializes in empowering children
