2023 ICDL International DIR® Conference
Professional Continuing Education Information
Conference Description
This two day conference is focused on using a Developmental Individual-differences and Relationship-based (DIR) model to promote development and learning for everyone. Promoting development is not about simply training or teaching skills, it is a process of helping people grow and develop from the inside out. By implementing DIRFloortime, professionals and caregivers alike can fully engage in promoting development and increasing their capacity of self-regulation, engagement, communication, problem solving, thinking and reasoning.
Through lectures, case studies, research reviews, and discussions, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of DIRFloortime and how to effectively promote development in individuals with autism and other developmental differences.
