Dear Steve,

THANK YOU FOR SUCH RESULTS - I am so happy for you and all of us coming together as an International Team of specialists oriented at the goals:

1) to reach the possibilities and real results in development of A Child for short time,

2) with maximum and optimum results

3) and stable outcomes!

Your example is again about the fact that these goals are realistic, and teach us and our children to do the same things with ease when we are based on "our innate neurophysiological functioning".

Thank you, again and new successes!

Svetlana Masgutova, Ph.D.

Thank you for MAKING THE DIFFERENCE FOR CHILDREN.

Hi ...your testimony is very exciting. Thanks for sharing.

I have not yet introduced myself to the group so I'll do so briefly here and

then get on to my question for you. My name is Vicky and I am a speech-language

pathologist and Certified RDI consultant in Louisiana. I recently attended the

Dyn and Post Reflex course and am slowly easing into trying some of this work

out on a few clients.

I'm interested in how far along you are in the process and how you went about

getting started. I recently did an assessment (Im sure a very poor attempt)

with one of my clients. I feel like he would benefit from some work on his foot

related reflexes but of course I'm not 100% as I feel like I really guessed my

way through the assessment. Of course this is not due to poor teaching on the

part of my course instructor....she did anexcellent job and I feel good about

what I SHOULD be doing....just need ALOT of practice before I will feel

comfortable that I am executing and analyzing appropriately!

Would you mind sharing a little of your story as far as how you went about

jumping into this work. If you have already done this somewhere, please do not

feel obligated to repeat it...I'll just search the archived posts. Also, if you

would prefer to email me directly that would also be great

(vposton22@...).

I'm excited about this work...just EXTREMELY nervous and apprehensive about

getting started. At this point, my plan is to simply do it...pick a reflex or

two to work on with this particular family and just see what happens. Not

necessarily the most systematic approach but it's where I'm at right now.

Thanks again for sharing your work. My caseload consists 100% of children with

some version of an autism diagnosis and I strongly believe that this work will

make a powerful impact on their development and progress....if I can just figure

out how to do it correctly:-)

Happy New Year to everyone! VR
