Greenspan Floortime Online Course for Professionals or Parents

Floortime Online Video Course

The professional course examines the DIR Model, which explains a child’s developmental stages and individual differences in a child’s sensory processing and family dynamics, and the role emotion plays in a child’s development. It also presents an in-depth presentation on the Greenspan Floortime Approach™, including developmentally appropriate interactions, interventions, and practices geared to each child’s developmental profile. This includes various interventions for special challenges, including aggression, avoidant behavior, sleep problems, compulsive rituals and more.

Upon completion of the course, there is an optional free mastery test and documentation of mastery.

The Floortime course is offered 24/7 until Sunday, May 13 2012. Log-in as often as you like during that time.

Inspiring Video Link

Hello fellow OTs

Find below a link to a very inspiring video on a severely Autistic girl (non-verbal) who learns to communicate using a computer.  She is able to express how her body feels....why she stims and is answering questions from around the world on her own internet blog. 

Well worth the time to watch....she is writing her own book now.

Request for short video clips of DCD in daily life

The Bow Valley Community Care OT/PT contingent is facilitating a meeting of community partners in November to discuss how best to support kids and families who are facing DCD. Wondered if anyone has some short video clips (1-2 mins) that we could use to send out with our invite, demonstrating some of the functional impact of DCD on daily life? I recall the dance class clip, and would love that link, with any others that you have collected.
