The D.I.R. model, as can be seen, enables the therapeutic team to create a
program based on the child's unique developmental profile. The D.I.R. model
enables parents and therapists to harness many of the therapeutic elements
traditionally found helpful in an integrated, more developmentally appropriate,
manner. For a more detailed discussion of the D.I.R. model and its related
assessment and intervention processes, see:
