About my Services

I offer a variety of services to clients involved in the RDI Family Consultation Program (FCP), and am committed to my families in the following ways:

• Regular updating of goals and assignments on the RDIconnect Online Parent Training System

• Prompt feedback for all assignments and questions: responses within 3 business days, although most often within 1 business day. (During vacations, up to 1 week.)

• Online Video replies which are information-rich and very personalized.

• Evaluation of your assignments without any personal criticism. (We as parents are judged enough by the world without bombarding ourselves with more. We can learn to evaluate ourselves as guides and improve as guides without guilt over any mis-steps, which are perfectly normal and to be expected.)

• The perspective and sensitivity of a Mom (who has felt all the things you've felt).

• Arriving promptly to all appointments and respecting your time.

• Protecting your right to confidentiality and privacy.

• Extra meetings as needed, on-line or by phone (or even in-person for local families).

• "Trial guiding" (in-person / home visits for local families).

• A monthly newsletter I provide, exclusively for families working with me.

• The latest video and audio highlights from Dr. Gutstein and Dr. Sheely via links from my newsletter (As an RDIconnect Product Development Team Member I have an in-depth knowledge of THE latest RDI information, and where to find it.)

• Notice regarding any changes in fees provided two months in advance.

Whether local or distant, all families involved in an RDI® Program are part of the Online Parent Training System, which comes with some huge benefits! Besides access to the whole RDI Program curriculum, integrated expert knowledge, webinars and parent discussion forums, I will be providing you with online video replies for very personal instruction and feedback. My clients love this feature because they say they know exactly what I mean because they can hear it from my facial expression, tone of voice, etc. It will feel like I'm right there talking to you and is a big support in nurturing our on-going, collaborative relationship. 

The RDI FCP includes:

• parent training and supervision (including weekly or bi-weekly on-line meetings)

• child Dynamic Assessments

• program design for the child

• regular assignment reviews and updates

• video feedback

• maintenance of your online community files

The costs of the FCP can be broken down into 3 parts:

1. Fees for the initial Child Dynamic Assessment ($400-$500) (Re-assessments are done on an as-needed basis, typically once every year or two.)

2. Training and Supervision Costs ($100/hour–typically $200-400 per month)

3. Fees for the RDIconnect Online Parent Training System (required: $50 per month)
