Overview
This webinar will explore the fit between Sensory Integration Therapy as conceptualized by Ayres (1979) and DIR/Floortime, the Developmental Individual Difference and Relationship-based model, developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan.
After introducing the theories briefly, we will discuss and examine similarities and differences and where the two frames complement and strengthen one another.
We will also discuss modern comprehensive evidence-based practice in relation to these two frames of reference.
