"...Aside from the improvements in overall eye contact, Marshall is actually looking for our facial expressions for input. We’ve also noted improvements in behavior, transitioning and attempts at communicating his needs through speech vs yelling & kicking. This wouldn’t be possible without the RDI Program."

Marshall, age 7, California

"... Daniel no longer prefers playing quietly alone during his down time. He actively engages us and other children to play with him all day! He truly wants to connect with us as much as we want to with him. The RDI™ Program has helped us understand how to teach him about this and how much fun it can be!"

Daniel, age 4, St Louis

"...Doing the RDI Program strengthens the bond between Erik and his father. He reads the nonverbal cues of situations much better. We see so much more flexibility with his dad. They resolve problems faster because they are connecting easier."

Erik, age 10, Minnesota

"Michael required a one-on-one aide in school until he started the RDI Program. His actions seemed ritualized with objects. He was very involved with selfplay and tuned out everything else. He never came running to me after school. Now he runs to see me after school. For the first time he tells me he loves me on his own."

Michael, age 7, California

"Joy. The RDI Program Parent Seminar brings back the feelings of joy you had when you anticipated the arrival of your child's birth. Once again you experience the chance to help this new person enter the world. You are strengthened by the kindness of others who are experiencing the same fears for their children. When you leave the workshop you actually feel happy about the future and feel equipped to face it again."

Karen B, New York

"As for how the RDI Program has made us feel, Maurice (husband) and I agreed that it has given us hope. I used to have constant anxiety about whether or not Patrick would be ‘OK’ as I didn't feel that we were on a path that was making a difference... Of course, we still have a long way to go, but I’m happy with the progress! ... Now I really think he might be 'OK'."

Patrick D, Age 9, Connecticut

"I can't even begin to tell you how much the RDI program has helped our son. He is obsessed with it! He is referencing me and others more and more everyday. It is just so amazing to see this. I am so thankful to you and to my friends who made me aware of this type of therapy and lifestyle. By the way, my speech therapist thinks I am a 'healer' because she feels this dramatic change came about so fast. I just went along with it, but swore that the RDI had more to do with it!"
