Feedback from our recent "Life on the Floor" Workshop for Parents;
"As a parent of a child with an ASD I think it is very important to consider a number of approaches in their intervention. I went along to the workshop today to find out more about Floortime™ and what it has to offer.
I strongly recommend the Life on the Floor workshop to other parents. The DIR® model provided me with a whole new way of looking at my children. Kathy, Sharon and Anne have an enormous amount of experience and generate such positive energy and warmth as they take you through the components of Stanley Greenspan's model and the Floortime™ approach. The powerpoints, workbooks, resources and video clips were first class.
Best of all it was uplifting to see the gains these kids are making in their abilities to engage, relate and learn. I will definitely be finding out more about Floortime™ as I think it will benefit my daughter immensely."
