Testimonies from Consultants and Consultants in Training
感谢我敬爱的Genevieve老师：
在学习RDI的这段旅程中，您总是用最温暖的耐心倾听我的困惑，用专业视角为我剖析实操中每一个需要优化的细节——无论是发现视频中孩子调控能力背后的逻辑，还是指导家长完善他们的反馈，您总能从表象中抽丝剥茧，引导我去思考，如何成为一个合格的RDI顾问，如何帮助家长成为更好的引导者。您那些”为什么”的追问，如同叩击心灵的钥匙，让我逐渐学会站在“指导者”的维度引导新手老师和家长。
虽然现在的我实践仍显青涩，但您示范的“观察-解释-反思”这几个步骤，已深深镌刻在我的工作框架中。每当面对挑战时，您温柔而坚定的鼓励就会在耳畔回响，让我有勇气将理想化的标准化作脚踏实地的尝试。
这不仅是专业技能的传递，更是治愈力量的延续。衷心感谢您用智慧点亮我的成长之路，未来我会带着这份启迪，在特教领域继续温暖前行。

To my beloved teacher Genevieve,
During my RDI learning journey, you have consistently listened to my confusions with unwavering patience, analyzing every practical detail requiring optimization through your professional lens. Whether decoding the logic behind a child’s regulatory abilities in videos or guiding parents to refine their feedback, you always dissect complex scenarios into manageable components, teaching me how to become a qualified RDI consultant and empower parents as competent guides. Your persistent “whys” acted like keys unlocking deeper understanding, training me to mentor novice teachers and parents from an instructor’s perspective.
Though my practice remains green around the edges, the “Observe-Explain-Reflect” framework you demonstrated has become integral to my professional approach. Whenever facing challenges, your gentle yet resolute encouragement echoes in my mind, giving me courage to transform idealized standards into down-to-earth attempts.
This transcends mere knowledge transfer—it’s the continuation of healing power. Thank you for illuminating my growth with wisdom. I will carry this enlightenment forward, advancing with compassion in the special education field.
With deepest gratitude,

Hello everyone,
My name is Li Na. I come from China. It’s a great honor to share with you my experience of being supervised when I worked as a CIT consultant. During that period, Genevieve was my supervisor. Actually, at the beginning, I was still a little restrained and nervous because we didn’t know each other well, and I wasn’t very clear about the whole supervision process either. I didn’t know what I should do or how to do it well.But after a video conference, I found that she is a very professional, very patient and easy – going supervisor. She was very willing to share her years of experience and guide me in practical operations. So, I began to communicate actively with her.
As my supervisor, Genevieve would clearly define the time frame and specific requirements for each project before it began. Of course, during the process, if I encountered any problems or difficulties, I could communicate with her at any time through WeChat, video calls, etc. She would also provide me with guidance and assistance promptly. Every time after submitting a project report, she would give me feedback promptly and tell me which part was good and which part could be improved further. All of these have provided good references for my current work.Under her supervision, I successfully completed all the CIT projects very smoothly. My practical skills improved rapidly, and I learned many skills for guiding families with RDI, and the families I helped were also very satisfied. Till now, many of my work experiences are derived from the learning during that period.
Actually, my biggest takeaway is that during the entire supervision process, as long as you take the initiative to communicate and act positively, your supervisor will be both your friend and your teacher, offering you the greatest support. Therefore,I am very grateful for Genevieve’s guidance and help.
Lastly, I wish everyone all the best.
Thank you!
