She has worked in the autism field for the past nine years as an RDI® (Relationship Development Intervention) Consultant. Paulette combines her RDI® training with her teaching background to deliver a step-by-step curriculum that targets deficits of autism previously thought untreatable. She coaches parents to become effective guides so they can fill in the missing developmental "gaps" that make life challenging for their children. Paulette uses her knowledge and experience as a teacher along with training in numerous therapies to support children with learning disabilities. She focuses on building the underlying developmental abilities necessary to learn. To be successful academically, perceptual abilities such as vision, hearing, focus, and memory need to be in place. When you improve a child's ability to perceive accurately, you see gains across the entire curriculum. Most importantly, children's self-esteem and motivation soar. "Every child has the ability to learn and do well," she says. "The key is to find and target the missing developmental pieces that are holding them back."
