DIR/Floortime (also known as floortime or DIRFloortime) is a play and relationship-building therapy for autistic and neurodivergent children. Floortime is also helpful for people with a traumatic background. As the name suggests, the parent or therapist plays with the child on the floor.
DIR/Floortime therapy is designed to help parents build stronger relationships with their child in a playful and engaging environment. DIR/Floortime is based on the idea that a child’s development is affected by their environment, relationships, and interactions. This therapy is used to help children develop their social, emotional, cognitive, and communicative skills.
