The 2010 AKOTA Fall Conference 

DIR®/ Floortime Training
Theoretical and Applied Intro with third day focus on Integrated Practice.
Presented by Ruby Salazar, LCSW, BCD (ICDL Director Facilitator Training Program and Senior Faculty) and Marjorie Cases, OTR/L

October 15-17, 2010
at the Egan Center, Anchorage, AK

Course Description
In the service of supporting healthier, more integrated developmental-relational functioning for children in their families, schools and other environments, this conference will provide, in the first two days, conceptual and practical understandings of a comprehensive, interdisplinary approach called DIR®/Floortime™. (pioneered by S. Greenspan, MD and S.Wieder, PhD) This approach focus on integrated developmental functioning and a meaningful model of intervention.

The Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-based (DIR®/Floortime™) Model is a framework that helps clinicians, parents and educators conduct a comprehensive assessment and develop an intervention program tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other developmental challenges. The objectives of the DIR®/Floortime™ Model are to build healthy foundations for social, emotional, and intellectual capacities rather than focusing on skills and isolated behaviors
