【Webinar】Introducing Floortime #01 (May 22, 2025)

Introducing Floortime #01 is an introductory webinar designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone interested in child development and neurodiversity.

Do you ever wonder why your child behaves in a certain way? Does it concern you when you notice the differences between your child and their peers?

Floortime is here to support you—not by changing how you or your child should behave, but by strengthening your bond through your child's unique interests. Instead of focusing on “how children should behave,” we shift the perspective to “how we can build meaningful relationships with them.”

By embracing individuality and fostering development in a nurturing environment, we create opportunities for growth, learning, and deeper connection—one step at a time.
