The four models of language development, Bloom and Lahey, Bloom and Tinker, Social Pragmatics, and DIR are used to develop assessment and intervention processes for working with young children with delays and differences in the development of language. The goals and strategies of language intervention in the developmental model are based on typical development, adjusted for each child’s learning style. The developmental therapist is committed to using the child’s spontaneous, self-initiated actions as the basis of learning.

UCSF — Early Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder: Considering foster care & adverse childhood experiences (6 parts)  2hr 21m 12s duration

This webinar was offered live on April 22, 2020 for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health and Interdisciplinary Early Intervention practitioners by UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and Through the Looking Glass. The webinar focuses on the identification and treatment of early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorders, and the complexities of assessment when foster care and/ or ACES are part of the child’s experience. Infants showing prodromal signs of Autism fail to elicit or respond to early forms of social interaction dependent upon preverbal systems of sensory – motor responses. This workshop focuses on interactional synchrony, and facilitation of an affectively-attuned infant-parent relationship. Insights about the infant’s unique sensory motor processing and the parents’ thoughts and feelings form the basis for intervention.

Coaching a distanza (3 parts)  1hr 23m 19s duration

Introduzione a cura di Serena Suman: In un momento difficile come quello attuale ci troviamo a sostenere le famiglie in modi nuovi. Che differenza c’è tra il sostegno ai genitori in prossimità e la terapia a distanza? È possibile attuare efficacemente il coaching a distanza? Genitori e professionisti stanno subendo gli effetti di fattori di stress che ci fanno sentire tutti vulnerabili ed esposti. Lo stress compromette la nostra capacità di auto-regolazione. Online, ognuno entra nel proprio spazio personale e per farlo bisogna essere molto compassionevoli con se stessi e con l’altro. La discussione qui offre idee per i professionisti di ogni settore orientato ai bambini, sia didattico che di sviluppo. Visti i dubbi e le incertezze emerse tra terapeuti italiani di diversa estrazione, Rossana Giorgi e Serena Suman, entrambe DIR® & DirFloortime Expert & Training leader, hanno organizzato una discussione comunitaria per affrontare questo complesso tema.
