            Jane Melchiondo 
            Play therapist and consultant utilizing the 
              DIR/Floortime/Greenspan approach to working with children in the 
              autism spectrum or with disorders of relating and communicating. 
            My Mission 
            To help children reach their highest potential 
              developmentally – learning to self regulate, be engaged and 
              purposeful, enjoy intimacy and relate to others, problem solve, 
              communicate, play creatively, and think logically and independently. 
               
            I work with parents and professionals to assist in 
              understanding Greenspan’s DIR model and Floortime therapy, 
              so that the child with special needs can develop naturally, in a 
              playful and joyful environment. Each child brings with them a special 
              gift. Together we build on their gifts and work through the challenges.
