This is a great model that focuses on each individual. It takes the time to analyze and utilize strengths, relationships, and involves others. It was interesting to learn about how to focus on more than just surface-level behaviors. It can be hard to do this in the moment, but this model does a great job explaining each of the concepts.

I like how she focused on the individual and how that may differ in on each case by case basis. It really reflected the teachings of DIR. I also like that she explained limitations in the CLINICIAN. For example, not every client is going to be a good match with every clinician.

This course is very helpful in understanding the framework and I wish more pediatric clinicians would apply this in practice. If you're familiar with DIRFLoortime this course really supports being able to discuss and explain it on a different level.

This course resonates with the clinical expertise I've gained as a therapist. It fits with what I know and has given me lots of ideas for how I can grow. I have already used the principles I learned in this course with my middle-schoolers in a self-contained classroom, and I see so much engagement! This is a good course to help you reflect on what you're doing and why, rather than just isolated therapy tasks. I know it will influence my future work as well. Highly recommend!

This course goes beyond basic concepts, helping participants deeply understand the Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities (FEDCs), Individual Differences, and Relationship-based components of DIRFloortime®. It equips professionals to apply these principles in meaningful and practical ways by teaching how to observe and respond to a person’s unique sensory, motor, and cognitive profiles—essential for creating tailored support strategies.

Not all CEU courses are incorporated a virtual aspect and I really appreciate that!

Great information for a different approach to therapy. Using DIRFloortime is a great way to engage children and meet them where they’re at which can change throughout a session. Great videos with explanations that show how to use the process effectively. The case studies walked through all FDEC 1-4 and where the child was (mastered, constrictions, emerging, emerging with support, rarely present, and not present) which gave a greater understanding of how to interpret all the levels.

This will be helpful across many of my clients but especially for some younger clients that are autistic because I have a couple that are difficult to work with and need me to focus on starting where they are at and then slowing moving them forward in a way that does not lead to increased dysregulation. The principles shown are incredibly helpful for my work with these clients.
