* Dr. Greenspan's "floor time" method of helping children with autism.  Dr. Greenspan works from Bethesda, MD, and has also been a big part in developing the Unicorn Foundation for children with autism. His website, and a directory to related professionals is http://www.saveachild.com/index.shtml  

 The specialized preschool that H. attended used a method very similar, and the Director studied for a couple of summers with Dr. Greenspan. So I think it is worth learning about. It is a way of teaching interaction and play skills through compassionate shaping. We sure saw a great deal of advancement in our son with this method, so I would encourage others to see if it might be of help for their child or children. (from Lisa S)

This approach targets all aspects of development through the use of Floor Time.  Floor Time is a series of techniques that helps open and close circles of communication in order to foster the child’s interaction development. Floor Time is unstructured interaction directed by the interests of the child.
