DIR 330: Goal Development Informed by DIR®

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS COURSE.  WE DO NOT HAVE A OFFERING SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME, BUT PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR UPDATES.  

Course Description 

This is a 4-hour short course focused on helping therapists and educators write treatment, service, and educational goals from a DIR perspective.  This course will explore the differences between conventional goals and developmental goals.  Writing effective developmental goals is much more than simply pulling goals out of a goal bank.  The focus of this course is to help participants develop and/or deepen their own capacity to understand, conceptualize, and write developmental goals.  The course will use well-established frameworks like SMART goals as well as DIR-based frameworks like FIRMS to assist in writing individualized DIR-focused goals for treatment, service, and educational plans.  This is a very practical course for clinicians and educators that are seeking to incorporate DIRFloortime® and the Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities (FEDCs) into the plans they are creating.  

Pre-requisite: DIR 101. This course is best suited for those that have earned at least a Basic DIRFloortime certificate (DIR 201) with a minimum requirement of having completed the introductory course (DIR 101).

This course is a live online course and participants must log in individually to the online classroom, following the instructions provided by ICDL and with their camera on, so there is a record of each participant's attendance individually. If participants join in a room with a group, each participant must still log in on their own device so ICDL can see each participant and verify each individual's login and log out of the online classroom. Participants must attend the entire course to get CE credit. Partial credit is not an option.  Social Workers must complete the course evaluation posted on the floortime.org course page in order to receive ASWB ACE continuing education credit.

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.
