Introductory Course to DIR Model & Floortime Intervention for Parents

21st November 2014 | Presented by Sian Nash BSc & Frie Heyndrickx MA

The programme aim and content: D.I.R. /Floortime™ is a way of intervening with children who have difficulty communicating and relating to others. This course is designed for parents of children with behaviours that place them on the autistic spectrum and/or whom have challenges in communicating and relating, attending and learning.

DIR / Floortime™ aims and objectives:

• Each child’s individual differences are assessed

• It focuses on the fundamentals of life to be regulated, calm and organised

• Helps children to think for themselves and become independent (prompt dependency)

• Aides communication

• Sets children up to cope with the outside world –problem solving

• Helps children feel good about themselves

• Helps reduce behaviours

• Helps reduce anxiety

• Helps increase self esteem

• Helps the child feel happy and content in life
