About Us

Picture
My journey with autism began when my son was diagnosed with autism in 1998.  My world was shattered, my heart was broken and I was scared.  I immediately went into denial because I could not accept the uncertainty of not knowing my son’s future.  I investigated programs, talked to experts and finally found the one thing that helped my family and my son, RDI - Relationship Development Intervention. 

I learned how to parent my son with autism.  I knew how to love him but I didn’t know how to guide him because of the autism.  Once I learned what he needed to become engaged everything changed!  As I learned more and more about RDI my passion grew. I am extremely fortunate to have worked closely with Dr. Gutstein over the past six years on his current program the Dynamic Intelligence Curriculum.

Jake now presents with me and shares what we learned together so others can benefit.  
I present worldwide and work with families all over the world.  Jake shares his story willingly because he wants to help others. 

Now I know I was not in denial, I was just raising the bar for my son.  The current research shows that we can impact the neurology of the brain to address the deficits autism brings and achieve quality of life for all of our kids.  Thanks to Dr. Gutstein we have that roadmap.  Let me share it with you!
