School Reply to ...

[Guest guest]

,

I have no personal experiences with any of these schools - this is just an old

collection that I have made, just in case we needed it in our family; or for the

RDI clients that I serve. I have made some " tours " of a few, and I have friends

whose children go to a few, but that is the extent of my knowledge.

As an RDI Parent and Consultant, I am always more concerned with the strategy

used to offer children learning experiences - the " how " versus the " what " !!! So

there are many schools that employ a more " behavioral " approach versus a

" developmental " approach that I have tried to dis-guard from my list. But here

is my current list ...
