Step 1: Take the New Parent/Caregiver Course.

A child’s developmental profile shapes the sessions. Each one is as unique as the child. So you need to know if a child is sensitive, sensory seeking, or under-reactive/passive. You need to know what type of play the child engages with–sensory, object, symbolic or some of each.  The NEW Parent/Caregiver Training Course will help you understand how this applies to your child.

This course is broken down into 4 parts,

Part I: Understanding Dr. Greenspan’s ‘Big Picture’ Greenspan/DIR Model  (1 hour 30 minutes)

Part II: Understanding Developmental Evaluations  (35 minutes)

Part III: The Importance of Greenspan Floortime and How to Apply It  (2 hour 15 minutes)

• This includes a lecture about dealing with challenging behaviors while encouraging social-emotional health.
  

Part IV: How to Get the Most Out of a Greenspan Floortime Program  (25 minutes)

This version of Floortime is systematized with a definitive set of techniques and principles that Dr. Greenspan himself utilized while achieving his groundbreaking outcomes.  It is the only version of Floortime available that uses a curriculum developed by him.

Step 2: Practice Greenspan Floortime at home.

It is important to practice Greenspan Floortime a minimum of 30 minutes a day with your child.  For  comprehensive results it is best for both parents, and any other caregivers, to do this 2-3 times per day.  Practicing daily allows for more rapid learning for the caregiver, and the child.  Using the free materials, like our Self-Reflection Checklist to analyze your session, will help refine your application of Greenspan Floortime.
