This presentation will introduce a developmental framework for human development. The session will support participants in understanding ways to join and engage children in their play - that is meaningful to the child - but also in ways that support increased regulation and engagement in order to support the development of the child. Play is a right of every child and DIRFloortime is a respectful methodology for kids with developmental differences that uses play to support development while considering the Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities as a guide.
