Along the lines of Jean's question regarding ABA, what do those of you who do floortime at home do and what have your results been like. I just started reading Greenspan's book and am interested to hear what those of you who have floortime experience think. Thanks....We use floortime as much as possible when we play. It's just based on
reading Greenspan's book- we don't have a floortime therapist or
anything like that. I think alot of what our ST/OT recommend is
based on floortime. It is not completely child -driven like in
Greenspan's book though. Basically we just use use DS's natural
interests -because they are very motivating for him and encourage
interaction with him. Music, chasing games peeka boo, hide
and seek are a few of the things we do.
I think floortime is great but for DS it would never have been enough. He needs ABA too -at least for now.
I think our former therapists loosely used floortime basics. I wish I could find a floortime therapist but any therapist is hard to find here. THe one I did speak with doesnt accept insurance at all, private pay only. sigh............
but I do try to do lots of floor time with my son, the problem with that is as he has aged he also wants to get 'stuck' on something and do it over and over and over and over, until I know it is not really being useful.
