Written for parents and caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this handbook presents the DIR (developmental, individual-difference, relationship-based)/Floortime model in a comprehensive, highly readable format. Unlike other interventions and treatment methods that focus on the symptoms of ASD and the modification of specific behaviors, this model uses a dynamic, family-oriented approach that teaches children with ASD the fundamentals of relating, communicating, and thinking while taking into account each child's strengths and unique needs. According to the authors, this comprehensive program integrates emotional, social, intellectual, and educational goals for each child, and is based on the assumption that the abilities of relating, communicating, and thinking can be favorably influenced by working with a child's emotions.
