The Floortime Roadmap: Building FEDCs and Emotional Foundationsのベスト引用
The real secret to growth isn't about the skill itself, but the emotional fuel behind it. It’s about building the invisible social-emotional strength that lets everything else—language, logic, even empathy—actually flourish.

よくある質問
The Floortime Roadmap is a developmental approach pioneered by Dr. Stanley Greenspan that shifts the focus from outward behaviors to the emotional fuel behind growth. Instead of viewing milestones as a rigid checklist of skills, this method emphasizes building Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities (FEDCs). These capacities serve as the essential foundation for an individual's development, acting like the lower levels of a building that must be solid to support future growth and lifelong emotional stability.
Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities, or FEDCs, are the core stages of development identified by Dr. Stanley Greenspan. They represent the "how" and "why" behind human behavior rather than just the "what." While often discussed in the context of early childhood, these capacities are actually a lifelong roadmap that continues to evolve into late adulthood. They provide the necessary emotional framework that allows individuals to navigate complex social and developmental challenges throughout their entire lives.
For children with neurodevelopmental differences, including those on the autism spectrum, Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities may not always develop automatically as they might for neurotypical children. Floortime provides a structured way to offer extra help in shoring up these emotional foundations. By focusing on the FEDCs, caregivers and educators can help children build a more secure developmental base, ensuring that their growth is supported by strong emotional roots rather than just a checklist of isolated skills.
