"Prior to becoming an RDI
Consultant I had a private speech and language practice. I was struggling to
keep enough clients to work, and struggling to feel competent with the autism
population. The RDI Training and on going learning involved in being in the
field has provided me with an invaluable set of tools to work with and help
families with. It has also provided me with an amazing group of other
therapists to think and learn through. As a result, my practice is very busy. I
am invited often to speak and share my knowledge with parent and professional
groups. I have opportunities to join into meaningful research and to help
develop useful ways to help families with the remediation of autism. I feel
that I am able to inspire and mentor others as well as continue to learn and
grow in this field on a daily basis." –Amy
Cameron, M.A., CCC-SLP
Program Overview
The RDIconnect™ Consultant Training Program is a unique
educational program available for adults with credentials in a broad range of
professional backgrounds and specialty areas.
Training includes learning the
theoretical foundations behind the core principles and goals of our programs as
they apply to neural development, Dynamic Intelligence, communication, early
childhood development, etiology and pathogenesis and myths vs. science. Heavy
emphasis on general consulting principles includes: ethics and managing the
Certification Process, productive client communication, joining with the family
while maintaining boundaries, developing responsibility contracts, sensitive
clinical interviewing, avoiding the 'instant expert' trap, and maintaining a
'win-win' position where both consultant and the family are cared for.
The Certification Program includes a
Beginning Seminar, Intermediate Seminar, Professional Supervision and
Advanced Seminar and can typically be finished in 18 months. Request a 2013 Certification Packet
