RE: DIR/Floortime Therapy

Sensory Integration Therapy is really not doing anything to help my child be calmer or more socially aware and able to play. Our OT is suggesting perhaps this type of therapy might be beneficial for our goals.
I think our OT used some of the approaches as part of an integrated type of program with my son when we were going to therapy... it always ended with a Star Wars laser sword thing fight (I know they have a proper name but I'm soo tired tonight! sorry!) and she always died (little boys are lovely, hey?) I understand that it hones in on children's personal motivations to learn how to interact with others and build relationships very successfully - it was developed by Stanley Greenspan I think. I'd be very interested to hear how you get on!
