This list will be best for parents and caregivers who are implementing a comprehensive program for their children with autistic spectrum disorders. The primary purpose of the list will be to provide information and support for those implementing a program based on the work of Dr. Stanley Greenspan and Dr. Serena Weider.

Since the DIR model is a comprehensive model, subjects other than Floortime strategies may occassionally come up (diet, nutrition, school - IEPs, etc.). Try to keep discussions relevant to Floortime and the DIR model. We encourage you to take discussions of non-DIR related topics off-list, either through personal e-mail correspondence or via a chat room discussion.

* Although it is totally appropriate for members of this list to share recommendations for products, services or even specific therapists, using this list to sell your personal product is not. We ask you to refrain from solicitation.

When you submit your membership request, please provide sufficient detail about your reasons for wanting to join. Questionable requests will be rejected in a attempt to keep spammers off of our list.

Thanks for your understanding. Welcome aboard!
