What is a Therapeutic Play Specialist? Is it related to a psychotherapist who does play therapy with children? What does DIR-trained mean? And what is Floor Time experience? | ||

Hello: Thanks for your interest. It is related to a psychotherapist who does play therapy with children-although not quite the same thing. For a really good explanation of the DIR approach please click on this link, which is the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders. http://www.icdl.com/ From the ICDL web site: Purpose and Goals The Interdisciplinary Council includes outstanding professionals from the different disciplines working with children and families where there are developmental and/or learning problems. Its aim is to improve the identification, prevention and treatment of developmental and learning disorders. ********************************************* I am currently in the DIR Certificate process and have several years of practical experience doing Floortime which is an important component of the DIR Model. I hope this is helpful |
