This course was excellent because it provided a clear and comprehensive overview of the DIRFloortime® model, emphasizing the importance of developmental stages, relationships, and individualized support. It offered practical insights into applying the model in both in-person and virtual settings, and the focus on strengths-based, lifelong intervention made the content meaningful and widely applicable across age groups and abilities.

Loved this course! It describes a completely different approach to developmental steps and progress. Very often as EI SLPs, we're thrown in to a very heave "behavior-based" style of therapy whereas this goes, in detail and example, through a relationship-based technique. Definitely helps understand, and even explain to clients and/or families that this may take longer to show initial progress, but may actually have better results in the long run. Will be looking into the full certification!

This information will be extremely helpful in my EI practice. I feel like as a therapist I naturally use some of these principles but in a less structured way. This model gives more of a concrete framework and I think will make it easier to write goals and work with all young children that I see.

The course was a great introductory course to the DIR concept. I will defiantly expand my knowledge with the DIR Floor model. I already do forms of play therapy and connect/bond with the individual I am working with but this course provided reasoning on why I am so effective. I have tried this approach on 4 kiddos I have been treating that can go in and out of FDEC 1-4 who have very few visible interests. My sessions were magical and fun.

I loved how the speaker went into depth about sensory processing and integration, and how that impacts the child during play. The sample goals were helpful because, yes, as SLPs we are very data driven. Also, I bill commercial insurance plans and need supporting data in order to continue therapy. The videos were helpful to illustrate the different parts of the hierarchy. Pacing was perfect. Great course!
