The final course, “Foundations of DIR® Practice,” brings these elements together through application and mentoring. Participants learn to use information about a child’s developmental capacities and individual differences to tailor intervention and support meaningful developmental progress. Through alternating live classes and small-group mentoring sessions guided by Profectum Faculty, learners analyze real cases, reflect on their own work, and practice integrating DIR® principles into everyday interactions with children and families.
