Participants are evaluated on case presentations, class participation, and written responses to forum questions.

Students must present two cases using video recordings during the course. The individuals being presented (the cases) can be of any age, but should have challenges in FEDCs 1-4. Most typically, younger children on the autism spectrum are presented. The child being presented cannot be a child that the participant is parenting themselves. We ask that participants be prepared to present two different cases, but sometimes trainers will prefer or allow participants to present the same case twice. If you only have one case to present, please e-mail us at dirfloortimetraining@icdl.com to confirm this will be acceptable (it usually is OK, but depends on the case being presented as well). Recordings and case presentations of either in-person or virtual sessions are acceptable.

Students in online courses must have a device that has a camera and microphone to fully engage in the course. ICDL provides the software.

Participants must achieve a minimum of 80% on each of the four domains listed in the learning objectives as assessed by their Training Leader(s).

This course is an assessment-based course that assesses each student’s DIRFloortime competencies. Successful completion leads to a DIRFloortime^® Basic Certificate (DIR-Basic) and a listing in the ICDL registry and listing online.

All participants can request a Certificate of Attendance documenting hours of participation at the time of registration.
