What Professionals Say

Greenspan Floortime is a totally different way of looking at the whole child and evaluating their level of function - explained by the creator himself.

It helps a lot when you see the techniques in action after you have learned about them. It was fascinating to see how the children responded to the play interventions and how much more engaged they became when the facilitator used the Greenspan Floortime approach.

Greenspan Floortime opened my eyes to a new treatment approach, a whole new way of thinking.

I now feel much better equipped to work with children on the autism spectrum having carried out this course in Greenspan Floortime.

Greenspan Floortime gives an in depth understanding of how to engage children with ASD and how to treat them, an understanding of how to involve parents in therapy and the steps in developing milestones. I feel that these areas were not adequately covered in my graduate program.

I would like to say that there is a certain genius in being able to explain what seem like obvious truths, simply and clearly, and I think the lectures do that.

I had previously heard much about Greenspan Floortime and it sounded interesting. I am now sold-hook, line, and sinker into this being the appropriate approach to deal with the children on my caseload who are on the spectrum.

Greenspan Floortime offers very practical and logical ways to work with children with special needs. It looks at the child with ASD as a whole and treats them as a person with a biological disorder rather than a disordered person.

Greenspan Floortime has made me aware of the importance of affect and teaching the parents the importance of affect while engaging their children. This course should be compulsory for students of speech therapy. It was uplifting and was what I’ve needed

I really enjoyed this course because it gives me more useful vocabulary, developmental stages, and ideas to use for my typical developing children as well as my special needs kids. Thanks!

I am qualified 11 years now as a speech & language therapist and this model is the first thing that has made sense to me when working with children with ASD. I feel really enthusiastic about working with these children now, especially working jointly wi

I found that this was an excellent course. I have been working with a non-verbal autistic class in an elementary school and found the information in this course and the way it was presented invaluable.

I still have several days before the course ends, and I plan to go back and listen again to most of the lectures. I wish I had attended this course 20 years ago.

I cannot say enough about Greenspan Floortime. It truly validates everything that I felt was the right way to approach children with autism and other developmental disorders. After taking this course, I now have more 'reasoning' as to why I have been doin

It gave a rich, research-based overview of a program that is so relevant to all the children I work with. I feel like I now have access to a powerful relationship-based intervention.

Dr. Greenspan has been added to my short list of heroes. Thank you so much for an affordable, valuable, and truly mind-expanding educational opportunity!

I thought I already knew a lot of the info-probably because I am a recent grad in the field. What I really enjoyed was getting a reminder of how to better use strategies that I already use, and how to try to employ new strategies to better engage my kids.

Dr. Greenspan is amazing. He has consolidated information from different professional areas into a cohesive approach which takes into consideration and treats the whole child. I hope professionals in all fields that work with special needs children take
