(Developmental, Individual-differences, Relationship-based Floor Time) is an approach to therapy and early childhood education that focuses on supporting the social, emotional, and developmental growth of children, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental challenges. In DIR Floor Time,our therapists engage with the child on the floor in a playful, child-directed way. The goal is to encourage emotional connections, build communication skills, and foster cognitive development through interactive play. The 'floor time' part refers to the physical act of getting down to the child's level to facilitate engagement in a natural and comfortable environment.
