Developmental Individual-Difference Relationship-Based therapy is a child lead therapy that aims to move your child up the developmental ladder. The goal of Floortime is to increase a child’s ability to relate, communicate and think. This approach to therapy does not use your child's interests and motivations as rewards, rather it is used to build relationships, develop empathy and promote critical thinking.
From a behavioral perspective, in Floortime the relationship IS the reward.
