Re: Floortime and RDI ? How much does it help with communication/social skills?

[Guest guest]

, I am familar with Dr. Greenspan's floortime. I think it is very

helpful if daily each parent can interact with their child

about their interests and work on drawing them out. The more we

draw them out the better and the earlier in their development the better. If we

can get them to start to take steps to express their

feelings in a range of emotions rather than no interest vs rage that too is such

a step in the right direction.

Floortime is shaping social behavior one step at a time.

About RDI ....it is so expensive to get training in RDI that

I have not been able to make such a financial committment.

When I talked to the consultants at AS conferences it makes

sense to me and I would expect it would be helpful.

good luck,

Pam
