The DIR®/Floortime™ model provides a developmental, interdisciplinary framework for constructing a comprehensive assessment and intervention program for children with autism spectrum disorders (infancy–adolescence) and other related neurological and sensory challenges. This program emphasizes the importance of relating, communicating, and thinking for the whole child within the context of human relationships. Video examples, case studies, and parent interviews provide further insight into the model’s application.
