We believe that the biggest difference in a childs’ development is who and what they are exposed to the majority of the time. When we work with a child for 1-2 hours a week, and the family implements the strategies used in session the rest of the time, quick progress in development is made. Coaching the parents directly when in session on what to do, how to do it, and what words to say, paired with out of session parental support is the perfect recipe for success for the family unit.
We also offer sibling support sessions using the DIR Floortime® approach. Siblings play a strong role in influencing one another's social cognitive and emotional development. They are role models and social partners that can serve as built-in support systems during lifes challenges.
Conflict between siblings is inevitable, but can be used as a learning tool in overcoming challenges, use coping and compromising skills, communicate feelings effectively, assertiveness instead of aggression, and use of co-regulation strategies. Fostering a positive relationship with siblings is critical in childhood so that benefits could be seen in the years that lie ahead.
Tamar offers one-to-one DIR Floortime Therapy in-office and in-school. Sessions are held both indoors and outdoors with the incorporation of sensorimotor play to best support the child in social-emotional development. Parents are incorporated into 1:1 sessions to strengthen the parent-child relationship
It’s true that your child is different, they all are. With an approach like DIR Floortime, the childs’ individual differences are accounted for and sessions are fine tuned to the unique child. I use a multidisciplinary approach in all my sessions to better understand the root causes of behaviors and how to best address them. Forming a healthy relationship with the child and family is key in development. Giving parents the tools they need to practice strategies at home speeds up progress in meeting the goals we create together.
