Developmental Therapy

Our Developmental Therapists work with your family to design play and exploration activities that can be incorporated into your child's daily routines to promote their acquisition of skills in a variety of developmental areas. This helps your child gain confidence in their ability to learn new skills and improve on their quality of interactions with others.

DIR/Floortime

The Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-Based Model of Intervention (also known as the DIR Model) is way of assessing and working with children to help the the expansion of their skills. By interacting developmentally with your child (“D“), you can understand how to respect his/her individual differences (“I“) and developmental level through a warm, safe and nurturing relationship (“R“) so your child will have the opportunity to relate, think and communicate. You’ll move from concerns that almost all parents have to growing to appreciate your child for whom (s)he is and relish in the joy of facilitating your child’s development.
