“I found that a truly new, and sometimes stunning, experience of vision and action is possible when multiple disciplines are dynamically inter-woven to benefit the special needs of children and their families.  A superb Institute faculty, comprised of multiple professional orientations and cross-competencies, guided us students through individual challenges and accomplishment.…In addition to what the DIR® Institute experience has allowed me to give others, I feel fortunate that I can continue to ponder and contribute to this unique, powerful and integrated process by which we see the concept of the "whole transforming into a sum, not equal, but greater than its parts" come to life.”            ~ K. Weeks, Developmental Music Educator, Kensington, MD                                                                             

“The ICDL DIR® Summer Institute was an enlightening and enriching experience!  It is a five-day immersion into the complexities and nuance of DIR® and Floortime™ practice, with a unique opportunity to glean from many talented clinicians worldwide.”    ~ B. Rosenberg, PhD, Brooklyn, NY

“The ICDL DIR® Institute provides an exciting and intensive learning adventure! The presentations are rich and informative. The faculty is attentive, knowledgeable and supportive, easily accessible and able to provide for wonderful small group discussions. The best part for me has been an opportunity to meet many bright and fascinating people from all over the world and from different disciplines and to learn as much as I can from their work as well as from their feedback on mine.”     ~ Y. Peleg, Ph.D. Cupertino, CA

 “Attending the DIR® Institute was the single most powerful experience. I really began to get a handle on this dynamic and complex model of intervention. It was both intense and invigorating to absorb so much information, share my case, discuss the cases of other presenters, and get to know so many fascinating clinicians and professionals in a personal and meaningful way. I highly recommend it as a learning and networking experience. While preparing my case presentation was a rigorous process, I benefited tremendously from the experience, especially the group discussion that followed."                                         ~ C.
