                    Weekly sessions with the child and caregiver take place at the practitioner's office at an integrated clinic.  The musical program is integrated with DIR principles and is carried out in a Floortime venue.  Parents are coached to engage with their child by taking into consideration the child's individual sensory, motor, emotional and cognitive characteristics.  The warm, playful environment is designed to promote attention, engagement, circles of communication and more.  Singing, simple rhythm instruments, toys, books and sensory equipment are included.
