Floortime (PLAY project) workshop - London 5 Oct

[grumpyoldeeyore]

I saw this workshop advertised for 5 October in London and thought others might be interested? The PLAY project do training on Floortime in USA.
see reachingautism.org/pdf_files/play_conference_flyer.pdf or link from PLAY project website

Also have ongoing workshops with local Floortime therapist but unfortunately we don't live near enough to go to those, but might make a trek to see the PLAY project guy. She doesn't seem to be on Greenspan's list of qualified DIR therapists though. Wish I could send all of DS's nursery carers on the 2 day professionals workshop!

I am also interested in floortime training as I missed the one in May.

Thanks for posting this!

Whose the local one? One of the UK ones has a married/maiden name confusion which confused me for a long time! (Doesn't take much).

I would be interested in these but I cant find any information on the website about how much they cost. Does anyone know?

Sorry try this link the workshop is in Tower Hamlets in London.
