Based in New York City, Rebecca School is a therapeutic day school promoting the education and development of children ages 4 to 21 with neurodevelopment disorders of relating and communicating, including autism spectrum disorders and PDD. Rebecca School incorporates the ideology of Stanley Greenspan, MD with respect to the Developmental Individual Differences Relationship-based (DIR) and Floortime approaches. Up until his death in April 2010, Dr. Greenspan was a consultant, clinical trainer and advisory board member.
The DIR Methodology developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan proceeds from the core belief that relationships are the foundation of learning. At Rebecca School, we consider the variations in individual motor and sensory processing systems and tailor each child's program to his or her specific needs. There is no "one-size-fits-all" for children with neurodevelopmental delays in relating and communicating. Each child has unique strengths to be developed and limitations to be remediated.
