DIR/Floortime
Imagine Academy offers a multidisciplinary approach which includes integrating the Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-Based model (DIR/Floortime) into the school routine. The DIR Model promotes staff members to meet with each student at his or her developmental level, considering their individual profile. By using affect as one of its main principles, the staff members create significant interactions which ultimately promote regulation and engagement and expanding the students circles of communication. At Imagine Academy, we also rely on the DIR Model principles to create group sessions between students, with the objective of promoting social interaction.
Here at Imagine Academy, training is what we do! We have partnered with Profectum to provide training and certification for our staff at all levels.

Hear From Our Parents
Imagine has developed a uniquely integrative approach that combines creatively what are usually seen as the two leading competing methods Applied Behavioral Therapy and DIR/Floortime. Imagine offers the very best in Speech, Occupational and Music Therapy. The various components work beautifully together so that the whole is even greater than the sum of its individually excellent parts.”
“…They work together to understand our children’s learning style and needs, they have no agenda other than helping the kids learn and grow. Everyone shows competence and care that goes beyond the school day to give families the support needed at home and with everyday issues or emergencies.”
Imagine Academy has been a gift to my son and my entire family. Having been one of the first students enrolled in the school when it opened 14 years ago, Philip has grown up with the love, devotion and respect from the entire Imagine staff. Year after year, the focus has always been on giving him so many opportunities to become the best person that he was meant to be. We will forever be grateful to this school.
