About the Greenspan Floortime Approach

Over 40 years ago, child psychiatrist Dr. Stanley Greenspan recognized the importance of meeting children on their level—both developmentally and physically—in order to maximize communicating, interacting, and learning. This meant getting on the floor to engage the child’s attention. Ultimately, Dr. Greenspan developed The Greenspan Floortime Approach to make his techniques, tips, and tools available to parents and those who work with children. The Greenspan Floortime Approach™ is the most comprehensive version of Floortime. It is both an intervention for children with special needs and a general support for healthy child development.

St. David’s Center + the Floortime Approach

In terms of practice, Floortime is a play-based model that focuses on following the child’s lead, expanding upon social interactions, and challenging children to problem solve. We use a multidisciplinary team approach, which includes a mental health professional, speech-language pathologist, and occupational therapist. Each team member is certified in The Greenspan Floortime Approach.
