BUT HOW?

We understand autism

The way we experience ourselves in the world is at the heart of who we are and who we are becoming. Individuals with ASD are living in a constant state of stress, confusion and overwhelm. Together we can change the experience. Together we can change the outcome.

Our mission

We work to treat autism and related conditions from the inside out. Our first goal is to understand. We respect the unique makeup of each individual and family we treat. We see behavior as information providing insight into the internal experience of our patients. We believe in the power within each family to foster meaningful growth. Our team works to put parents back in the driver’s seat where they belong.

Jennifer's work has been outstanding! Once the children started working with her, tantrums stopped almost immediately because she worked with me on how to guide the children to develop their episodic memory in very concrete, creative, tailored and specific ways, somewhere else.”

The professional instruction given by Jennifer has brought changes to me and my child. We laugh more, and it is easier for me to accept the deficiency of my son, as well as helping him to cover the shortage from the fundamental.

What impressed me most is the solution given by Jennifer to deal with noncooperation. When a kid refused to be recorded in the clip, yelling, forcing, explanation and persuasion from parents did not work. Jennifer shared her photos of making funny faces, and asked for the amusing moments from the kid.

It is so lucky for me to have this international predestination with Jennifer ! She brings the hope to me in the hopeless time, making dawns break through the darkness, and become more and more brighter. As an excellent therapist, she is intelligent, patient and merciful, curing both kids and parents.

I have been working with children with ASD for several years, and have learned from a variety of experts. Jennifer is one guide that stands out to me. She is among one of the few experts that teaches the learner to become the expert, rather than just a follower.

Thankfully, we found Developing Minds and Allison McCaskill in 2013. She has worked with him and with me since them using the RDI® program. It's an ongoing process but the results so far have been priceless.

Abbey Wright, Mom

After starting the RDI® therapy and learning how to be a parent guide with so much support from our RDI® therapist Allison her quality of life has improved more than I ever imagined. I really didn’t know what to expect starting the program but have been very impressed.
