~ "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is the tree of life."
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Education, in 1974. I taught special education classes for 29 years in Texas public schools. The last 18 years were in a special education self-contained class. Every child that entered my door was unique with their particular needs. I began to see an increase in students with autism. My search for programs to assist them brought me to Relationship Development Intervention® . I was drawn to RDI® because parents saw results. Their family life became normalized. So, I began my journey to become a certified program consultant for RDI®. I became certified in February of 2010.
I look forward to employing the strategies I have learned to help families with a child on the autism spectrum. See consultants at www.rdiconnect.com.
