"Andreja has been an incredible source of knowledge and wisdom following our son's diagnosis of high functioning autism at age 4. Leo has overcome many challenging behaviours with the help of Andreja's guidance. Structured and precise evidence based RDI methods include focusing on the parent-child relationship. Evidence suggests that this is the key relationship which is dysfunctional in families with autistic children. Andreja's methods involve parents being the primary guides and teachers to their autistic child, strengthening this bond. The use of videos recording the child's behaviours and interactions in day to day life, speech and language, coordination, independence, self care, academic and social skills are reviewed by Andreja. Feedback tools and strategies on how to overcome these individual obstacles are provided for parents and its effectiveness monitored over a specific period of time through the use of videos. Personally I have seen a marked improvement in my child's communication, coordination, self-regulation, confidence, self-care and independence. Andreja is a truly sincere, positive and professional RDI consultant who is understanding and I consider her a part of my family."

"My family started the RDI programme with Andreja over a year ago. We became much more confident parents and finally started to guide our autistic son. Our son is now connected with us and he is learning from us. Andreja's simple and warm teaching helped us to understand more about autism, our roles and our child. We are not anymore afraid of doing things with him; we learned how to plan in advance, how to set up goals and work on them, and how to use everyday moments to encourage his growth, independence and confidence. We meet with Andreja once a week for an hour online session and Andreja gives us feedback, sets up weekly targets and guides us. I would highly recommend the RDI educational programme and Andreja as an RDI consultant to every family with autistic individuals. Andreja is very knowledgeable, experienced, precise and passionate about her work."

"My family and i have been working with Andreja, for so many years. she has helped us as parents navigate a pathway to better communicate with our child. Most of our fears for the future have been elevated because of the tools that she has taught us. She is extremely passionate about what she does and exudes the perfect balance of professionalism and friendship with her clients. She comes highly recommended."

"Andreja is an outstanding profesional and human. I have been privileged to work with her since the beginning of her journey as an RDI consultant and I have witness her passion and professionalism on everything she does with children with autism and other diverse needs, their parents and educators. Andreja has extensive experience training parents and professionals in school regarding academics , Behavioral challenges and self regulation. She is also an amazing SEN Yoga teacher and a great guide for parents and professionals."

"Andreja has been working with our 16-year-old autistic son for the past year and a half. During that time, she has been providing one-to-one weekly sessions. Andreja has also guided us as parents to develop strategies and skills to improve our communication with our son. Andreja is patient, understanding and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with both parents and neurodivergent children. Apart from the one-to-one sessions, Andreja has also custom built a program for our son with a team of therapists and interventions. Our son is a much happier, sociable, and organized child because of Andreja’s work and guidance."

"I have been working with Andreja for several years and I can't recommend her service enough. She is an absolute professional in her field of RDI/consulting for parents of children with autism and other diverse needs and SEN Yoga teacher. She coached me on numerous occasions to support me with improving communication, motivation and encouragement between neurodiverse children. Many of the clients I work with reach out to Andreja for additional support how to improve parent- child relationship, overcome obstacles in home and school environment or for their children to attend her fantastic Yoga sessions which you won't find anywhere else in London. If you are looking for a passionate and ambitious professional who goes the extra mile to deliver the best possible service then you should get in touch with Andreja.

"My family and I came to Andreja from a place of hopelessness and desperation, probably just as any other parents feel at the beginning of this journey. Andreja and RDI has given us as a family the right tools and strategies to be able to fully support and guide my daughter to grow and develop as much as she can. RDI has brought back all the lost hope for my daughter through us the parents, and has brought back the incredible power that the parents should hold, which has enabled us to help our daughter so much. Because of RDI and Andreja, we now see our daughter for the real blessing that she really is. We can now see her beautiful mind, her wonderful soul, the bright future that is ahead of her and the endless possibilities that she can reach due to the guidance of RDI. We as a family are absolutely grateful and thankful that our path crossed with Andreja and her amazing work. Without her, we really would not be were we are today."

"Andreja is wonderful. We really enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend to other parents."

"I am very happy with Andrea's work as a RDI consultion. RDI help my son with independency and communication"

“Andreja has been the most incredible teacher for our son- she has been instrumental in helping him improve in his social skills, academics, learning to make mistakes calmly and pay attention to the non verbal communication around him. She has instilled in him the love of yoga which has immensely helped him to self regulate and become more self aware. She is so patient, ambitious for our son and always so positive on his progress.”

“Working with Andreja and using RDI as been an absolutely blessing for our family. In the time we have seen so much progress with our little boy and our family as a unit. We have all learnt how to better interact and provide an environment to help him feel secure and involved in our daily routine and lifestyle.”

“I was initially a little sceptical when I first heard of RDI, but I have to say it has been absolutely transformational for my 10 year old son. He is engaging in a far more meaningful way with his family, other people and the world. Andreja is an amazing practitioner, she is experienced, patient and devoted, and we as a family have gained so much from working with her. I recommend RDI, and Andreja in particular, to parents looking to help their children achieve a more functional, independent (and happy) life. ”

“We cannot recommend Andreja enough she has helped not only us but our foster son. We have been taught ways to help our little boy regulate himself - something that without Andreja’s help he would never have been able to do. We have found Andreja to be 1 of the most helpful people in regards to helping our little boy. She goes above and beyond not only for the child but for us as parents. We are absolutely amazed at how far our wonderful son has come on and the mountains he has over come are truly amazing. To be honest we would be lost without Andreja so from us as a family Andreja we would like to thank you for everything that you do for us as a family and look forward to working with you in 2023. Thank you!”

Thank you so very much for all of the tips and tricks, we are utilising everything you teach us to the best of our abilities and we can see the changes as well! We will take on ….
Thank you so much again for your continuous support! Have a wonderful weekend

When it comes to the opportunity to receive RDI training in our own language, it truly is a significant achievement. Thank you to Andreja for making this possible and for fighting to bring the RDI program to our region. As a mentor, Andreja was truly dedicated in every sense. She put great effort into explaining everything in the best possible way and answered every single one of our questions - and there were many. She approached each of our meetings with understanding and explained everything in depth. After each session, she gave us space to share our thoughts and reflections, to comment on whether everything was clear and whether we understood everything. She provided us with materials after every session - various webinars, as well as recordings of the sessions and lectures. I have been working with Andreja, as the mother of a boy on the spectrum, for two years now, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. She taught me what autism really is, and showed me that life with autism can be beautiful - if we know how, and if we have the right tools. She was my guide, helping me to reach this point as a student, and to continue on this path in the next chapter. Thank you once again, from the bottom of my heart - for every session, for all the support, and for encouraging us to believe that we are capable of so much.

My name is Gordana Zecevic. I am a speech and language therapist by profession, with over 30 years of experience, and I am the co-founder of the Association for Support of Functional Communication "Logopediliste", based in Belgrade. The chance to fulfill my long-time dream of becoming an RDI Consultant and to build upon everything I already know came to me through the wonderful Andreja Stefulj. A person like Andreja is truly the best possible choice to take on the role of introducing and promoting RDI across the European continent. She radiates warmth on one hand, and deep professionalism on the other. She is passionately committed to the idea of RDI spreading across Europe, starting right here with us in the Balkans - and we are especially grateful to her for that! It is clear that she is someone capable of carrying out such a complex mission in the best possible way. She is fully dedicated and always willing to help us with whatever we need. The training sessions are excellently structured and delivered, with a strong focus on interaction and the exchange of experiences within our group. Andreja explains everything clearly and always provides us with a wealth of resources. The RDI platform is vast, and her support in navigating it has been truly invaluable. Thanks to the training, I can say that l've already made changes in my own practice and have realized just how powerful RDI is. I would benefit from seeing more real-life examples - specifically demonstrations of how each developmental goal is worked on individually with different families. I even told Andreja I want to be her apprentice. & My overall impression is that the training is very thoughtfully organized, and it's clear to me why we are progressing through it in this particular way. Andreja has also organized many additional meetings for us, which have been incredibly helpful and practical. The meeting times were agreed upon so that everyone could attend, and that aspect was handled with great care and respect. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be trained in RDI, to implement it in my work, and to promote it in my own community. With her knowledge and personality, Andreja has forever won my heart! Warm regards,

We were so fortunate to come across Andreja and RDI. I had never heard of RDi before, but thanks to Andreja it became immediately apparent why RDi would be hugely beneficial for my son and for our whole family. Empowering the child instead of constantly instructing them what to do has to be the way forward! Andreja is a pleasure to deal with: she has a warm and lovely manner and I always feel like I can count on her for support. She has made the principles of RDI easy to understand and implement and we have already seen the benefits after only a few months. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together for D in the future. Thank you!

I am a special education teacher working in Taiwan. During my RDI training and learning under Andreja, I deeply felt the encouragement she consistently offered to her trainees. She guided us in a clear and approachable way, making complex ideas easy to understand and apply. Through RDI, I encountered an intervention approach that is completely different from what I had experienced before. This approach respects each family’s individual pace and gradually supports individuals with autism in building growth in both relational engagement and cognitive development. Reflecting on my past experiences with other intervention methods, interactions with students often felt more like repetitive procedures, with limited genuine connection or meaningful engagement. In contrast, RDI allowed me, for the first time, to truly experience authentic and heartfelt interactions with my students. Because RDI is a family-centered approach, it is honestly not easy for either consultants or parents. However, the process is filled with deep meaning and emotional resonance. If given the opportunity, I sincerely encourage others to participate in RDI-related learning or activities, and to personally experience the genuine warmth and meaningful connections that RDI offers.

Andreja is the most caring, knowledgeable and experienced person you can ask for in the field of neurodiversity. She will empathetically guide parents throught the ups and downs of raising a special child, offering plenty of insights and practical strategies. Highly recommedable!
