GOOD news, both of my daughters are great teachers,

and today older daughter is training. She encouraged me to read up on what she's doing today and tomorrow. She's a pediatric occupational therapist, with this 'specialty.' We'll learn together:

It’s important to look at the bigger picture and choose an intervention that assists in areas such as social-emotional development, as well as the ability to understand and perceive the world. Many parents are looking for options which expose autistic children to the power of emotional and relationship connections and teach those who struggle in these areas in a proactive form of therapy. One such approach growing in popularity is DIR Floortime therapy.

DIR Floortime therapy is said to be effective for autistic children in a variety of ways. This article will overview how the therapy works and the potential benefits of implementing this form of therapy for autistic children.

I needed to hear this today. The news has been so bad, it is lovely to read about people working so hard to make children's lives better.
You must be so proud. Thank you so much for sharing.
