How does Greenspan Floortime help children?
BEHAVIOR
It strengthens processing abilities. Less overwhelmed and more tuned in, a child can improve relationships. It's easier to be good.
Communication
It draws children into an exciting, emotional world. Learning to communicate and interact with purpose, they can have impact on the world.
Thinking
It is built on a renowned model of how we learn to think. It shores up a child's primary thinking skills. They can learn to think on their own.
Relationships
Its basis is emotions. Emotions create the desire to interact because they create the desire to be close. Children can become related and engaged.
FREE Assessment Tools
Knowing your child’s profile—whether a child needs a calm and patient “tortoise” parent or an energized and animated “hare” parent to engage them—is critically important. Learn about your child's profile.
