You now have scores that indicate, relative to the norm, how well your child:
1) relates and communicates and
2) takes in sensory information and integrates it.
Scores of 6s and 7s mean that your child doesn’t have any big stumbling blocks. Just continue to help your child on the path to logical and reflective thinking. If your child’s scores were lower or mixed (some higher, some lower), his unique set of emotions, learning, and behavior needs to work together better.
So, what to do next if there is a problem? Best is to look for the cause. Don’t just treat the symptoms.
Greenspan Floortime gets at the root of the problem. Understanding how we learn to think, relate, feel, and communicate supports growth.
In particular, our interactive Online Manuel explains the essential steps and techniques of Greenspan Floortime in short, clear videos. You will see what your child needs and decide how much you can do: seek help from a clinician or work at home with your child on challenges or something in between.
A parent, as a testamonial to Dr. Greenspan and his work, wrote: “My 3 year old boy was regressing and falling away from everyone especially his therapists. I was told he was autistic and retarded. We made a family commitment to Floortime and saw amazing and immediate results. All I wanted was a child who would not be isolated completely. What I have, because of Floortime, is so much more. He is an 8 year old with friends, fully conversational and keeping up with his peers in a general education classroom.”
