Profectum's Parent Programs

Resources to support your relationship with your child. 
The Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-based (DIR®) Model, created by Drs. Stanley Greenspan and Serena Wieder, revolutionized the concept of development, and provides the foundation for lifelong learning and relating. DIR® can help you connect, learn to recognize your child's strengths and challenges, and use play to enable development.

Introduction to the DIR® Model

In the Introduction to the DIR Model Course, you will explore the core components of the DIR model—Developmental, Individual Differences, and Relationship-based practice—and learn how these elements come together to foster meaningful growth in children and families across settings.
