What is RDI®?
RDI is not a behavior therapy and it is not a checklist of skills that have to be learned. RDI is an intervention of gradually re-building the foundations of the Guiding Relationship that have been affected by autism.
We do this not by “getting” a child to do something, but by teaching parents how to create customized experiences (unique for your child) over a period of years that focus on activating growth-seeking, building intrinsic motivation and giving the child the mental & emotional abilities that we all count on to survive this dynamic world.
How is RDI® Implemented?
The wonderful thing about the RDI model is that you no longer have to rely on a team of specialists teaching you how to interact with your child!
With the guidance of a consultant, parents learn to evaluate where the child stopped developing in order to create a program that is right for their child. They learn to re-think their daily lifestyle, restructure routine activities and provide safe but challenging opportunities for mental growth.
RDI® is an Online Platform
Because our consultants are spread out all over the world, just like all of you, the majority of your work with a consultant can be done via online communication platforms. Not only can you talk to your consultant online but RDI® has an online learning platform used to organize ongoing communication, video submissions, current and future objectives and yearly assessment findings.
In addition, parents have access to a video library containing samples of RDI® work donated by other families, webinars on a variety of topics and ongoing discussion groups with other parents.
This means that no matter where you or what is going on you have access to help!
