“For On The Floor” #10

This is the 10th video in the “For On The Floor” videos to support parents and caregivers at home who want to use DIRFloortime® in everyday situations. This video is about getting out and doing Floortime in “the larger ecological context,” as we said in Respecting Autism, as restrictions on movement in public places are lifting. I suggest orienteering, as a way to get kids moving in 3 dimensional space.

“For On The Floor” #8

This is the 8th video in the For On The Floor Videos, videos I am releasing to help parents and caregivers do DIRFloortime® at home during this time of physical distancing. In this video I give a tip about picking toys that promote abstraction.

For On The Floor #6

This is the 6th video in the “For On The Floor” videos. These are 4 minute videos offering help with doing DIRFloortime® at home to supplement the support people were getting in their schools, clinics or from their in-home therapists. These are simple, easy ideas so that people can continue to support their loved ones as they grow developmentally, in the context of in-home activities they would have to do anyway.

You can find all 6 videos in one place on my website: https://drgiltippy.com/2014/04/18/media/

“For On The Floor” #5, Why Wait?

This is the 5th video in the series “For On The Floor.” This is a series of 4 minute videos I am doing for people who want to do DIRFloortime® with their children during this time of social isolation, to replace the Floortime therapy they were previously getting, or who just want to try Floortime while they have the time with their children. In this video, I talk about why I make the shrugging gesture, and why I wait instead of prompting, and why prompting leads to bad unintended consequences.

These videos are all available in one place on my website: DrGilTippy.com

“For On The Floor” #4, Folding Laundry

In this video I offer my very latest thinking on Next/Gen developmental education while folding laundry. In about 4 minutes, I try to teach a fundamental principle for developmental interventions. It is a sophisticated lesson that I would only teach to the most advanced DIRFloortime® practitioners, or parents, who are the experts on their child.

For On The Floor #3, Joy and Spontaneity

This is the third video in the series “For On The Floor,” a series of DIRFloortime® videos for people who want to continue doing Floortime at home during this time of social isolation. I am trying to give 4 minute lessons in how to do Floortime while you are doing home tasks that need to get done anyway. This video makes a point about the joy and spontaneity that makes Floortime so much fun to do.

All of the videos are also available through my website: drgiltippy.com

For On The Floor #2, Walking the Dog

Here is the second in the video series, “For On The Floor.” They are a series of videos I’m offering to people who want to continue to do DIRFloortime® with their children while their children’s schools or clinics are closed, and while the family is on home isolation during this trying time. I am offering quick advice, in 4 minutes, on how you could help your child continue to rise developmentally, while doing simple household tasks that you were going to do anyways. Please share these wherever you want, there is no proprietary license to them, they are just my little bit to help.

They will also be available, all on the same page, at my website: drgiltippy.com.
