Dr. Stanley Greenspan had always wanted there to be a clinic that specialized in only providing DIR based services, especially The Greenspan Floortime Approach. He had wanted this clinic to uphold his standards of his DIR Model, and to make sure that families could get the comprehensive support they needed to successfully implement The Greenspan Floortime Approach at home.

Having no interest in running a clinic himself he approched his son, Jake Greenspan and Tim Bleecker to collaborate and start the clinic themselves. For over a year the three of them planned and developed every aspect of what the ideal clinic would be like. In 2004 The Floortime Center in Bethesda, Maryland, known then as DIR Support Services, opened its doors.

To this day the Floortime Center remains the only clinic in the world to be planned with the assistance of Dr. Stanley Greenspan that provides the Greenspan Floortime Approach. It is our goal to continue Dr. Greenspan’s legacy and provide the highest quality “Greenspan” services.

Since the start of The Floortime Center in 2004, Jake Greenspan and Tim Bleecker, it’s founder and co-director, have worked with over 1000 families, and have presented 1 to 4-day workshops for dozens of health and educational organizations. In addition to providing The Greenspan Floortime Approach, they have expanded their clinic to include Social Groups, Sensory Integration, Occupational Therapy, Vision Therapy, Auditory Therapy, Feeding Therapy.
