Yesterday Dr Stanley Greenspan passed away. He was the Founder and Chairman of the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders(ICDL) and Founder of DIR/Floortime. This developmental approach has been key to changing our son's development this past year, and as we continue to use this approach, the impact it will have on his life will be huge.
Dr Greenspan has helped countless other children with autism and special needs, and will continue to help thousands of others with what he has left behind. The world of autism will not be the same because of him.
As someone else so nicely puts it "Dr. Greenspan was a pioneer in the field of mental health of children and their families. He viewed children on the autism spectrum through a lens of humanity and hope. He taught the world not to fear those with differences, but to step into their world, join their intent, and expand it."
Words cannot do justice for how grateful I am for this man. He will be truly missed.
