The foundation of our program is based upon the Developmental, Individual-Differences, Relationship (DIR®) Model developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan and Dr. Serena Wieder. This framework enables us to define a comprehensive, individualized program that builds upon our students' strengths and interests in order to harness their motivation for learning, to enhance all areas of development, and to improve overall emotional and intellectual functioning.

As part of the DIR® model, Floortime™ is a key component to each school day.  Individualized sessions are a time where the student takes the lead! This allows the staff to see what is naturally motivating to the student during rich social exchanges which develops their relationship.
