Learn the fundamentals of  the Greenspan/DIR Model and how to APPLY The Greenspan Floortime Approach® successfully with a variety of children. (Click Here to Learn about how Dr. Greenspan’s Greenspan Floortime® is different from ICDL’s DIRFloortime)

Learning Dr. Greenspan’s framework is a journey, not a destination. As with any journey, there are many paths one can take. Most professional certificate training programs are linear step 1, step 2, step 3 processes where trainees pay more for each step they take. Stanley I Greenspan MD Inc. has decided to create a more flexible process, one that uses Dr. Greenspan’s concept of ‘Dynamic Structure‘. The ‘Structure‘ refers to the nonnegotiable fundamental concepts, principles, and techniques every professional must learn to successfully apply when providing Greenspan Floortime. ‘Dynamic‘ refers to the various paths each trainee can take to learn them and earn certificates. Our goal to provide high fidelity ongoing learning opportunities at no additional cost. Our fees are structured so that you mostly pay for the experience-based assessments to earn a certificate, not the training itself. Start your journey today and register for Dr. Greenspan’s All Access Pass.

The Successful APPLICATION of The Greenspan Floortime Approach® is our Priority:  

Focusing on the successful APPLICATION of Greenspan Floortime® within each therapeutic field requires ongoing learning. Instead of paying for each lecture or mode of training, which discourages ongoing learning, you will mainly pay to take the assessments to earn the Certificates. Get the majority of your materials and curriculum content for one low price, $345. If you are not looking to earn a Certificate, then train as much as you want.

Examination and Experience-based Certificates:

Other ‘Floortime’ training programs are primarily knowledge/examination-based. We offer a comprehensive process, combining both Examination-based and Experience-based elements to ensure professionals attain a well-rounded skill set and learn how to successfully APPLY The Greenspan Floortime Approach®

A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM Approach:

  • To achieve the most comprehensive outcomes, children are best served when their team of professionals all work within Dr. Greenspan’s Framework. Whether you are part of the same organization or are individual professionals within the same community, check out our special group training memberships for entire organizations and teams of professionals. Individual training memberships are also available.

Certificate Training Options:

Experienced Track

The Experienced Track is for individuals who have had extensive supervision in the Floortime model. Individuals on the Experienced Track can bypass Level 100 most of Level 200 certification training.

To qualify for the Experienced Track, an individual must submit videos of two different cases that will be graded by evaluators who are trained in The Greenspan Floortime Approach®. (To prevent a conflict of interest, the evaluators will be a multidisciplinary team of 2-3 professionals.) After reviewing the videos it will be determined if the individual is ready for the Experienced Track and then how many hours of training are needed to graduate Level 200. Depending on the quality of the videos an individual may be required to do additional training.

There is a non-refundable charge of $150 to apply for the Experienced Track.
