Are you an EIDBI provider looking to create truly DIRFloortime aligned treatment plans? Here, you'll find resources to help you shift your perspective from "top-down" skill aquisition to "bottom-up" relational growth.

DIR-informed goals focus on strengthening the foundations—the roots and trunk of development—so that higher-level skills (the branches and leaves) flourish naturally.

• Developmentally Appropriate: Goals are tailored to the individual's Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities (FEDCs), guiding where to go next on the developmental pathway.

• Individual Profile Considered: Plans embrace individual uniqueness, accounting for sensory-motor, sensory processing, and other individual differences.

• Relationship-Based: Goals always prioritize a healthy relationship with the client that honors their neurodivergent experience.

DIR goals support the process to achieve the client’s goals, creating a space where clients feel understood—a foundational element for connection and learning.
