- Integrated with school and other
therapies
- Developmental
- Individualized and

The interventions are based on the approach of Stanley Greenspan,
MD and his DIR (Developmental, Individualized and Relationship-oriented) model. The PLAY Project provides the following
services:
-
Clinic and/or Home based consultations.
-
Internet consultations via Relatenow.com
-
Community based trainings including
workshops, conferences and consultations for schools, parents and professionals.
-
Collaboration with a wide range
of community agencies, organizations, and parent support groups to provide families with a broad range of resource options.
The PLAY Consultant program provides monthly clinic and/or home visits
and uses videotape technology to give families detailed guidance about ways in which they can implement the DIR/Floor-time
model at home.
Arizona PLAY Project is gearing up to consult with families
across the globe via Relatenow.com. Coming soon!
