Supervision
Reflective supervision
Reflective supervision is a fundamental part of a relationship-oriented way of working that sees feelings, emotions and affect at the centre of human development, as in DIRFloortime, person-centred or psychotherapeutic approaches. We need the exchange with each other in order to become aware of our own (unconscious) feelings as well as the emotional intentions and blockages of our clients and to be able to respond appropriately to the respective individual situation. This reflective exchange can take place 1-1 as well as in supervision groups or supervision days.

„ Ideas for the therapeutic work„
“DIRFloortime is not just a method to use or not. It opens new perspectives in our work with children (whatever the diagnosis) and the videos provide lots of practical ideas to use in our work with a child.”
Anneliese Fischer, curative teacher
"Exchange with colleagues„
"I liked that we are a group from different professions, everyone brings a different professional and background experience, the online format with the almost weekly zoom sessions I found very enriching and necessary to experience support and exchange for this therapy concept and not have to "muddle around" alone".

The way to the goal„
“The DIRFloortime method really helped me to meet each child exactly where they are developmentally and to join them on their own personal journey. Focussing more on the relationship with the child and what motivates him, rather than on training or teaching him a fixed curriculum, has fundamentally changed my way of working. Now I am focussing so much more on interaction than on behaviour.”
Barbara Cidej, Special Needs Teacher
"Video analyses„
"The video analyses a la DIRFloortime are really a brilliant way to expand one's practice and to assess and support the children in a meaningful way.“
Udo Zappenheimer, Psychologist
"Like a colourful bouquet of flowers"
"The supervision group is always like a colourful bouquet of flowers for me, which I take into my work with the children every time."
