Amy Lukos is a Certified RDI Program Consultant operating Essential Elements, a private Consulting business in Plainfield ,Il.   I started my training in 2003 and now I am in my 5th year of re-certification.  Training was provided by Connections Center by Dr. Gutstein and Dr. Sheely.  I co-authored “My Baby Can Dance, written by Dr. Gutstein and other wonderful RDI Consultants. I have also taken several Wrightslaw and SCERTS seminars. I am a State of Illinois provider for the children and adult waiver programs.

The RDI Program is a parent based clinical treatment program where parents are provided the tools to effectively teach Dynamic Intelligence.  Dynamic Intelligence provides us the tools to successfully solve complicated problems, prioritize multiple demands, carry on meaningful relationships and achieve long term goals. People that have been diagnosed with autism, aspergers, social delays, or parents that need to strengthen their relationship with their child can benefit from this program.  Parents are taught to be competent guides to their children.  Recent research indicates RDI has the potential to exert a powerful impact on children.
  I recently have been working with children diagnosed with epilepsy where dynamic intelligence has been affected.  I help coordinate the at home treatment program with the medical treatment program. 

Fast Forward Language Series software is a series of computer-delivered exercises for students who are struggling with language, auditory processing and/or reading and need to develop the cognitive skills necessary for successful reading and learning. Studies have shown that these exercises can quickly move students toward grade level, helping them achieve gains in as little as 4 - 12 weeks.

The SCERTS model is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to enhancing communication and social-emotional abilities of individuals with ASD and related disorders. The acronym SCERTS refers to Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transactional Support.  In the SCERTS model it is recognized that most learning in childhood occurs in the social context of daily activities and experiences.

A Program Coordinator can coordinate medical pieces with therapies, attend Dr. appointments, assist with insurance and much more.
