DIR which was formerly known as Greenspan/Floortime has worked very well for a number of children with autism that I represent. The following article is from Michele Ricamato, a certified DIR therapist, SLP and a well respected colleague of mine, who has dedicated her professional life to working with children with autism and other disabilities with tremendous results. This article Download ClosingCircles.pdf is a great overview for parents and others who are interested in learning more about this unified set of therapies that has shown great promise for children with autism.
