DIR/ Floortime
DIR/Floortime is a relationship based approach to autism and Aspergers. Rather than simply adapting behaviour, it enables the individual to progress through normal social and emotional developmental milestones to the best of their ability. More able individuals will progress through Greenspan's 9 Developmental Levels from staying calm and engaged, right through to becoming a reflective, multi-causal thinker. It is vital to understand not just their autism/ Aspergers, but also the other developmental/ environmental/ emotional/ biochemical hurdels which they face. I will build up their individual profile so that all involved will know how best to facilitate their development. Their Profile may include vestibular problems, retained primitive reflexes, visual perception difficulties, family stress and so on
