The behaviorist method of ABA may still be the predominant approach, but Floortime's child-directed, playfully interactive techniques are also changing children's lives. My son attended a preschool using Floortime, and it made all the difference in the world. He blossomed there and is now a bright, sweet child in a mainstream elementary school and has an active social life. I hope Wallis' story helps parents who are still in the painful early stages of this journey. Tamar Bihari Montclair, New Jersey...
