DIR/Floortime
Speech-language therapy for adults aims to support critical areas of communication, enhancing success at work, in social interactions, and within the community. During therapy, clients have the opportunity to collaborate with a communication specialist, focusing on building effective communication skills applicable to various settings. Strengthening communication skills not only elevates the quality of interactions but also contributes to an overall improvement in the quality of life.
Multi-perspective Thinking
In therapy, we aim to bolster an individual's capacity to hold space for multiple perspectives, fostering stronger peer relationships and encouraging active participation in the community. We offer models that demonstrate how to consider situations from various angles. Embracing multi-perspective thinking enhances our ability to make informed decisions by weighing a variety of options. This skill is a core aspect of personal development. We support individuals with this skill using the DIR/floortime framework.
Shared Problem Solving
Negotiating during interactions, collaborating with others, and engaging in conversations are key components of shared problem-solving. In therapy sessions, we offer clients the opportunity to focus on developing these skills, enhancing their self-advocacy abilities and empowering them to authentically express themselves.
Bridging Ideas
Experiencing challenges in conversation exchanges? Seeking assistance in connecting ideas cohesively? Looking to enhance your storytelling skills and struggling to see how different ideas connect with others? Our communication specialists provide support through this process, utilizing neurodiversity-affirming practices from the DIR/Floortime model.
