Greenspan Floortime

The Greenspan Floortime Approach is the official training and certification resource for Dr. Stanley Greenspan’s original Floortime program. Grounded in child development, the approach focuses on emotional health and relationships as foundations for communication, thinking, interaction, and learning. It was created to support children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental delays, helping them build skills for school, everyday life, and greater independence.

The organization serves both families and professionals. Parents can access the Floortime Manual as an ebook and online resource, along with guidance on applying the approach at home. Professionals, including speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, educators, and mental health practitioners, can take courses, attend workshops, and pursue training and certification. Learning materials include lectures, videos, audio resources, and instruction from Jake Greenspan and Tim Bleecker of The Floortime Center. The site also offers information about Dr. Greenspan, research on Floortime, practical articles, testimonials, and resources for finding a therapist. Its Greenspan Social-Emotional program extends his work to children more broadly.
