Intentional, Creative, and Engaged offers art therapy in accordance with the DIR®/Floortime™ methodology for children and adolescents with special needs. Dana Whiddon, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT (Founder of Intentional, Creative, and Engaged) believes that art is a powerful vehicle for self-expression and supports the development of creativity and communication. Her passion for the DIR® model ignited five years ago when she was granted the opportunity to create an art therapy program at a school for children with developmental disabilities. In addition to conducting individual and group sessions, Dana works closely with multi-disciplinary teams to coordinate individualized treatment programs. She is a DIR® Certificate Candidate, Level III, where she receives ongoing training in the DIR® model, and has received extensive DIR®/Floortime™ training by leading clinicians in the field. Dana has presented nationally on the benefits of combining DIR®/Floortime™ with Art Therapy principles to foster growth up the developmental ladder.

Now offering individual and small group sessions at RAF Group LTD. Conveniently located in the heart of Columbus Circle, RAF Group LTD offers 3 large sensory spaces in addition to two treatment rooms for conducting art therapy sessions. As a developmental art therapist, Dana excels at bringing a child’s passion for art-making into a shared experience. Dana uses the art media to encourage reciprocal interactions and to support the development of abstract thinking. Dana is aware of the child's sensory, visual, and motor-planning systems and will adapt materials to promote optimal exploration and expression. If art isn’t what gets your child “cooking,†sessions will be tailored to exploring your child’s passions by following his/her lead as in the traditional Floortime™ manner.
