Combining DIRFloortime and Sensory Integration

This episode I welcome back Stephanie Peters and a new guest, Courtney St. Germain. Both are occupational therapists who are DIRFloortime® Expert Training Leaders at ICDL’s DIR® Institute in New Jersey where Courtney is the Program Director. We are discussing their Continuing Ed. article Combining DIRFloortime and Sensory Integration for Children With ASD that was published in AOTA in January, the American Occupational Therapy Association‘s OT Practice magazine. The article focuses on sensory modulation and how combining DIRFloortime® and sensory integration treatment promotes social-emotional development.Link to the full blog post with links to key discussion points and other ways to view or hear the podcast here: https://affectautism.com/2021/03/06/dir-si/Caregivers: Consider joining our DIR® Parent Network for support from a like-minded community of Floortimers here: https://www.icdl.com/parents
