Intervention Planning and Ongoing Support

Intervention Planning Week:

The Relationship Development Assessment™ Planning Module (RDA™) is at the heart of the RDI® Program. This is an Intervention Planning Week where we spend one-on-one time with you and your child to determine readiness, which stage to begin working on, and identify obstacles and strengths. As each family is unique, this is also a time when we can determine how best to work with your family.

During this Planning Process, we will help you determine realistic, achievable goals. One of the most important aspects of the week is helping you find the easiest and best ways to set up your environment. We will carefully construct a program for your family's specific needs, and provide you with one-on-one training in methods of effectively coaching your child.

We can also carefully match you with an RDI® Program Certified Consultant, should you not be able to travel to the Connections Center for the Intervention Planning Week.

Ongoing Support:

Implementing an RDI® Program may look simple, but we find that in practice, parents require a good deal of initial coaching and education before the RDI® Program becomes a natural part of their lifestyle. Following the Intervention Planning Week, parents receive ongoing support under the guidance of an experienced RDI® Program Consultant, certified by Connections Center.

The Ongoing Support module consists of a customized mix of parent education, live "coaching" sessions with parents and children, and regular review of videotapes made by parents in the home. What is included in your Ongoing Support will be based on your family's unique needs and will be determined in consultation with you.

Ongoing Support typically includes bi-annual intervention planning weeks to evaluate your program and set new objectives.
