2 Full-Day Workshop

Seminar: DIR101 - The Nuts and Bolts of it

This workshop will be an overview of the DIR/Floortime® model of the late Dr. Stanley Greenspan and certificates will be provided through ICDL (Interdisciplinary Council for Developmental and Learning Disorders) allowing you access to the ICDL directory and further training. The 6 developmental milestones will be covered in depth with video showcasing the different techniques to support the understanding as well as techniques used. Frequent opportunities for group discussion will be provided. Information on the importance of relationships will also be covered with support on how to mobilize students and children in achieving higher milestones. DIR/Floortime® is adaptive to any age of development, from early intervention through adolescence. Floortime® techniques will be show cased through case studies and video footage with open workshop discussion and participants will find these discussions to be at the intermediate clinical level. The workshop participant will leave the workshop feeling equipped to support their clients with new and fresh ideas on behavior, sensori-motor and emotional intervention.

Maude is a globally known presenter on a variety of different topics and has visited us in Manilla before on two separate occasions. She hails from South Africa, graduated there in 1984, and opened her private practice in Glen Mills, USA in 2001. Maude obtained her DIR Certificate in 2005 and became an Expert training leader in 2011 for ICDL (Interdisciplinary Council of Developmental and Learning Disorders).

She co-authored the book, Our Greatest Allies, with Lauren O’Malley. Her wish is for every therapist to come fully into their own being, be their authentic selves, so their clients can also transition from sometimes fragmented places to a new sense of wholeness.
