Families should begin with our first course, Floortime for Parents.
Course 1: Introduction to Floortime® for Parents
This course is designed for parents new to Floortime® who wish to learn about how this relationship-based, developmental approach can help them better support and nurture their child’s emotional growth.
The course consists of short presentations to introduce key Floortime concepts; lots of video examples to illustrate concepts in action; time for group discussion in a supportive environment.
Course includes two private Floortime sessions, for each family with the instructor. These informal play sessions with your child allow you to ask questions and practice Floortime with support.
Course 2: Floortime®

Workshops will involve short presentations and discussion of the children's development. Parents will share two videotapes of their children with the group in a non-critical and supportive atmosphere. A short presentation will be included.
