Support for Parents

I’m here for you. I love helping parents like you find joy, connect with your child, and restore hope for a future that works for your unique family.

I offer one-on-one remote and in-person consultation and coaching for families of autistic and special needs children and teens. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or at your wit’s end, you’re in the right place. Not stuck but looking for a fresh perspective and new ideas?

Together, we will identify your family’s successes and challenges and develop practical strategies to help both you and your child thrive. I guide families in gaining clarity around what is needed, which steps to take, and how to implement strategies successfully.

Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®)

C O N N E C T I N G  P A T H W A Y S

The Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®) program is based on the work of Dr. Steven Gutstein and the latest research in brain development. Its core principle is that parents are the best guides for their child or youth. The program equips parents with the skills to help develop their child’s thinking abilities, fostering independent thinking and enhancing communication skills to navigate our complex world.

We achieve this by guiding parents to use everyday moments as optimal learning opportunities, with a long-term focus on creating positive, empowering processes for both the child and the family. RDI recognizes that every individual and family is unique, and together, we will design a program tailored specifically to your child and your family’s needs.

As a certified RDI consultant, I will support and guide you every step of the way.

  • “Working with Nancy Gilette has been a truly life-transforming experience. For a long time, I struggled with profound feelings of not fitting in and a sense that life was unmanageable. Recently, these feelings intensified to the point of hopelessness and depression. However, Nancy's guidance changed everything. Through her expertise, Nancy helped me gain a deeper understanding of my own neurodiversity by explaining how my brain works. This knowledge was empowering and revelatory, allowing me to reframe my struggles not as personal failings, but as unique aspects of who I am.”

    — Wendy R.

  • “What we had read about RDI prior to meeting up with Nancy seemed to make a whole lot of sense to us as a family, so we decided to give it a try. We saw huge growth in our daughter. Nancy has a passion for what she does, and it shows. She turned into our family’s biggest cheerleader and provided us with invaluable tools for us to incorporate into our daily life that will continue to benefit us as we continue our journey on our own.”

    — Kathleen G.
