Reactions to past
DIR®/Floortime Conferences
"What was most valuable to me were the thoughts spurred by a variety of presentations, which give me continuing growing insight into my practice, continued motivation and validation of what I am already doing."
[I learned] "how to apply DIR on a broader level -- not just increasing functional levels per se, but using it to problem solve all avenues of a child's life and areas of need."
