[quote=Anonymous]I have one kid on the spectrum and one who is NT. I think floortime is great for expanding play and language with ANY child (NT, ADHD, ASD), but I wouldn't pay a lot of money for it. I just read about it and use those ideas.

With my child on the spectrum, I actually didn't like the floortime approach of an EI person he worked with. One thing that helped him improve so much was modeling prosocial and NT behaviors and encouraging those, but the interventionist who described her self as taking a  floortime approach allowed the obviously ASD behaviors and discuraged me from redirecting. We made LOTS of progress once we moved on to a new therapist and now years later I am actually starting to hear things like he blends and a person observing would not know he was on the spectrum, etc. Most importantly he has friends. Very young kids are so accepting of differences, but as kids get older I think many stims, etc are going to make it harder for them to fit in and I certainly don't need an adult chastizing me for helping my child show prosocial behaviors.[/quote]
