#DIRFloortime
Day one I showed up as a strategic communications consultant. Day two I returned as a parenting educator and advocate, speaking on how DIRFloortime aligns with conscious and respectful parenting. Two roles, same mission.

DIR Floortime, the ICDL official YouTube output, 3 years ago.
Gil Tippy, explains his belief-system: ”Any child on the [autism] spectrum,they’ll just go further & further & further into their own world, & active & involved play, that’s what brings them back to you" 🤔

www.icdl.com/parents/abou... is the official site for DIR/Floortime. "With a comprehensive, affect, relationship-based approach to intervention, [autistic] children can learn to enjoy closeness, warmth & intimacy, & can love others very deeply" it says.
Er..so without e.g. DIR/Floortime, we...don't?

Oddly, this same website claims that Greenspan Floortime and DIR/Floortime are different things.
stanleygreenspan.com/what-is-the-... but - as far as I can see - the differences are clear as mud. Plus, plenty of material online from Dr Greenspan about the DIR approach he was suggesting.
What a mess.

Play is not a break from learning. It is the foundation of learning. Every moment of play builds language, problem-solving, emotional growth, connection, and more. Never let anyone underestimate its power.
