Help Support Limitless Summer Camp

Go Fund Me
As the rate of students with autism and other special needs in school settings continues to rise, parents, teachers and other professionals working in educational settings are desperate for the tools to confidently meet the needs of ALL students. We are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of education, as many people recognize the need for interventions that look at overall development and build on the unique strengths of each student while strengthening weaknesses identified by the latest research in the field." - Monica Osgood

DIR Addresses Visual-Spatial Processing
An Overlooked Domain Impacting Function Across Developmental Pathways 
2023

​Visual-spatial processing has a dynamic role in the integration of multiple developmental pathways including movement, navigation, perception, sensation, and body scheme formation. It is a force in the organization of symbolization, regulation, emotions, directional language, interpersonal distance, the construction of knowledge and a sense of agency and security.

This conference is an in-depth examination of this overlooked and under-addressed dimension of development in concept, implication and application to practice across disciplines. It is an opportunity to understand various visual-spatial and movement strengths and challenges that are often missed. Learn practical strategies to apply in the home, clinic, and classroom.
