I want to know more information on the therapy tool called
Floortime.
Floortime is a treatment method for autism developed by child
psychiatrist Stanley Greenspan. Its called floortime because the parent
actually gets down on the floor with the child to meet and work with him
at his own developmental level. This method builds upon the child's
strengths and taps into the child's own motivation. In addition to
having speech, occupational and physical therapists trained in the
floortime technique work with the child, the parents also do floortime
activities with the child, and the parents learn how to adapt how they
relate to their child.
We do not typically use specific methods such as floortime in early
intervention, so I cannot give you personal information related to this
treatment method. Our website also details several other treatment
methods for
autism. This link also gives more details regarding
Floortime which may be what you are looking for and if you Google
the word "floortime" you can find many more related links as well as
videos on You Tube
demonstrating floortime such as this one by Stanley Greenspan.
