Understanding Floortime Therapy:
Floortime Therapy, also known as DIR/Floortime, is a developmental, relationship-based approach that focuses on building emotional and social capacities through meaningful interaction. It emphasizes meeting individuals where they are developmentally and engaging with them in ways that feel natural, playful, and responsive. Therapists use connection and curiosity to support growth in emotional regulation, communication, and engagement.
Application and Scope of Floortime Therapy:
Floortime is commonly used with children and families, particularly in supporting developmental differences such as autism, sensory processing challenges, and social or emotional delays. The approach prioritizes strengthening relationships and fostering emotional development rather than focusing solely on specific behaviors or skills. Floortime can also support parents and caregivers in understanding their child’s inner world and building more attuned, connected relationships.
What to Expect in Floortime Sessions:
In Floortime sessions, therapy often takes place through guided play and interaction, following the child’s interests while gently encouraging emotional and relational growth. Therapists observe, join, and expand interactions to support communication, problem-solving, and emotional expression. Sessions are collaborative and often include caregivers, helping them learn strategies to continue building connection and development outside of therapy.
