The International Council on Development and Learning (ICDL) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to embracing individual differences and promoting each person’s development to their fullest potential. Through the genius and leadership of Dr. Stanley Greenspan, ICDL was formed 35 years ago and became the official home of DIRregistered emoji and DIRFloortimeregistered emoji. DIRFloortimeregistered emoji is used to help children, young adults, and even adults with a wide range of emotional, sensory, regulatory, motor, learning, and developmental challenges. DIRFloortimeregistered emoji is recognized as a leading evidence-based approach to helping children on the autism spectrum and with other neurodevelopmental differences flourish.

Please visit ICDL.COM for more information and to learn about the DIRFloortimeregistered emoji professional certificate program.


About STAR Institute

STAR Institute is the international leader for research, treatment, and education related to sensory integration and processing. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to improving mainstream awareness of sensory health and to providing life-changing support and resources for individuals and families across the lifespan. STAR Institute supports all areas of sensory health including mental health, school success, child development, parenting, relationships, and vocational success. For some, disordered sensory processing profoundly impacts daily functioning. However, many differences in sensory processing do not need to be disabling. We believe everyone should have access to high-quality support, resources, and treatment for sensory health.
