This one-day workshop focuses on The P.L.A.Y. Project, a unique, community based Autism training and early intervention program.
This model is based on the developmental theories of Stanley Greenspan, MD, known as the Developmental, Individualized & Relationship (DIR®) Oriented Model–also known as "Floortime&trade". The DIR® theory and research will be presented along with videotape case examples to help participants learn DIR® strategies, methods and techniques. The session will help parents and professionals learn effective, low cost, and efficient ways to provide intensive intervention programming for young children (18 months to 7 years) with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and help them gain language and social skills.
