Scaffolding in Floortime: Supporting your Child While Encouraging Development

from We chose play from Affect Autism Hosted by Daria Brown

Scaffolding in the DIRFloortime® approach for developmental differences including autism means that you provide just enough assistance to ensure that your child is successful at something, without "doing the work" for the child. Scaffolding is helping your child to feel supported and confident along the way to autonomy. By providing our child with the feeling of achievement and success, they are motivated to persist rather than give up and move on.
