Ask Stanley AI:

A Greenspan Framework AI Assistant

Have you ever wondered,

What to do when my child avoids me or an interaction?

What do I do if a child hits or “shuts down?”

How do I help a child I care for communicate?

How do I set boundaries in a way that supports social-emotional health?

Can I do Floortime in the bath?

The below description was written by Ask Stanley AI

I’m an AI educational assistant trained specifically to help you understand and use Dr. Stanley Greenspan’s original framework: the Greenspan/DIR™ Model and The Greenspan Floortime Approach®. I translate the model into practical, everyday language and help you apply it in real-life interactions—while staying consistent with Dr. Greenspan’s intent and terminology.

What I can do for you…

Explain the Greenspan/DIR Model in plain language

  • Understand developmental capacities, individual differences, and relationship-based supports—without jargon.

Help you plan Greenspan Floortime® sessions

  • Get ideas for how to start, how to follow your child’s lead, how to build engagement, and how to create back-and-forth interaction.
  • Give activity ideas tailored to your child’s challenges and strengths

Turn everyday routines into Greenspan Floortime® opportunities

  • Mealtime, dressing, bath time, school transitions, errands, bedtime—how to use these moments to build connection and communication.

Help you write parent-friendly materials

  • Handouts, short explanations for family members, caregiver notes, IEP-style developmental language (non-clinical), and home practice plans.

Help you write sample developmentally based SLP, OT, and MH goals

  • Using a database of “Greenspan-based” OT, SLP and MH goals, I can help you write your own.

How I work (and what to expect)

  • Interactive and iterative: you tell me what’s happening; I help you adjust in-the-moment strategies.
  • Development-first: we focus on foundational capacities (regulation → engagement → communication → thinking) rather than isolated “skills.”
  • Respectful and individualized: strategies are based on the child’s profile, not a one-size-fits-all script.

Important note (scope and accuracy)

I’m designed to support Dr. Greenspan’s version of his model and Floortime as described in his many books and other Greenspan materials I’m trained on. I’m not a clinician and I don’t replace professional evaluation or therapy—but I can be a practical, consistent guide to help you apply Greenspan Floortime thoughtfully at home or in therapeutic/educational settings.
