The Professional Development Institute of California
provides the highest quality services to families and programs throughout the state.
PDIC was established in 2011 with a mission to help all children be successful by providing them the opportunity to be taught by the most highly educated individuals in their area of need.
Every member of our team has a degree, extensive training, and experience. We want children to gain academic, social, and personal success through one on one instructional time with a highly educated professional with expertise in their field.
We assist you in implementing direct intervention, and provide you with educational consulting. We also provide in home speech and occupational therapy.
We are on a mission to change the way California helps all children. Many private agencies assign the least educated staff to work with your child, while being supervised by a higher educated individual. We think the person working directly with your child should be highly educated, and have extensive training.
Our services for families are provided in-home
Research shows that all children learn best in their most natural environment.
We assist you in making accommodations to your home so that your child will be successful in his/her home routines.
In home services eliminate frustration for families that drive to several locations for various services.
