Welcome to DIR®/Floortime™ E-News, published and distributed by the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders (ICDL).   Our new bi monthly e-newsletter format allows us to bring to you up-to-date news, information, articles, announcements and web links to important DIR® and Floortime™ national and international events and resources.   We warmly welcome you to our growing DIR® global community and encourage your feedback and ideas.  

Our pool of writer volunteers includes professionals and parents. We encourage you to contribute to your DIR® and Floortime™ community newsletter.  Have an upcoming training, conference, parent group you'd like to be sure we cover?  Please send us a note.  Have an idea or question we should explore?  Send that too.  

Please note that submissions to the newsletter should be sent in "Word" format.  Articles are selected by the editors and are subject to editorial approval and editing for space considerations. Some materials may be held back for future editions. All material that we publish in this newsletter  is open to reprint by subscribers only, for their personal or practice use.  

We're cooking now!
