The International Council on Development and Learning (ICDL)

The International Council on Development and Learning (ICDL) is a not-forprofit organization dedicated to promoting each person's development to its fullest potential. Through the genius and leadership of Dr. Stanley Greenspan, ICDL was formed 32 years ago and became the official home of DIR® and DIRFloortime®. DIRFloortime® is used to help children, young adults, and even adults with a wide range of emotional, sensory, regulatory, motor, learning, and developmental challenges. DIRFloortime® is recognized as a leading evidence-based approach to helping individuals on the autism spectrum and others with neurodevelopmental differences flourish. ICDL provides training courses for parents and professionals through the DIRFloortime® Training Program (icdl.com).

ICDL offers free drop-in parent support groups run by Oakwood Academy’s very own Daria Brown, founder of Affect Autism. If you would like to join one of these groups, please find more information here https://www.icdl.com/parents .
