The Basic Course on the Dir®/Floortime™ Model and the Workshop on Regulatory Sensory Processing Disorders will both conclude at 9:00 pm EST on Monday, May 26.

Because of the Memorial Day Holiday, there will be limited technical support available after Saturday, May 24.

We are excited that so many of you participated in this inaugural online conference. We appreciate your interest in having more time to complete the Basic Course and the Workshop, but for technical reasons we cannot extend the conference any longer. The Basic Course will be offered again next April. Watch this website (StanleyGreenspan.com) as well as www.icdl.com for information.

Dr. Greenspan is available for consultations throughout the year. To make an appointment for a consultation, call his office at 301-657-2348.

We are delighted that so many participants have used the interactive forum to network with each other and we would like to invite newly created forums or internet-based groups to list your group on the ICDL website (www.icdl.com).  If you are interested, please send an email to info@icdl.com and include the following information about your group:
