2021 NYC DIR® Conference

The Foundation for Interacting:

Using Relationships to Stay Connected Through Change

Conference Description

When faced with change, how does one maintain physical and emotional regulation? Through the fundamental principles of DIRFloortime®, practitioners continue to utilize the power of relationships with both students and their families in order to further support developmental growth and learning through a hybrid program. During this one-day conference, participants will understand how DIRFloortime® can be used across the disciplinary domains, through virtual and in person learning with students of all ages.

Breakout sessions will address a range of themes demonstrating how the foundations of building relationships through the DIRFloortime® model support students to expand their abilities across developmental capacities. Through these trusting relationships, students are able to build a strong foundation necessary for learning and development.

Presenters from the Rebecca School, self-advocates, and the ICDL community will show how following a student’s passion can both build strong relationships and accomplish discipline-specific goals. This conference is open to self-advocates, professionals, and parents/caregivers.

All participants that sign in and out and attend the full day will receive a Certificate of Attendance documenting hours of attendance. Please note that continuing education credit is only provided for direct seat time.

The course content is focused on a specific product or service (DIRFloortime®) and there will be no mention of other products or services. ICDL does not receive any commercial support for this conference.

Art Therapists

According to the ATR-BC Recertification Standards, ICDL training programs that are approved by one of the other national continuing education boards listed on this page, may be eligible for Art Therapy continuing education credit. These standards state, "CECs will be accepted for all courses or events that fit in the ATCB Eligible Content Areas and that are presented or approved by any of the following art therapy, mental health, or behavioral sciences entities: state licensing authority, national professional organization, or national credentialing body for continuing education credit." It is the responsibility of each participant to determine if an ICDL program qualifies or not. ICDL is not an approved ATR-BC continuing education provider and as such can not award ATR-BC continuing education credits directly. However, we are approved by organizations like NBCC which may meet the above quoted standard.
