2-day Introductory Workshop

How do I get started?

For families who want to do the complete, intensive RDI® Program from the start, we will work with you from the outset, beginning with a phone consultation to answer your questions. We recommend parents start by attending a 2-Day Introductory Workshop (or to view the DVD if attending a workshop is not possible). Then, we recommend parents attend the small group 4-Day Parent Seminar, followed by the Relationship Development Assessment™ Planning Week and on-going support.

A growing number of RDI® Program Certified Consultants are providing care throughout North America and in other countries. However, if you do not live near a Certified Consultant we will tailor an effective program for you through periodic visits and video consultation. The next pages outline the five steps we recommend.

If you are not ready to start a full RDI® Program right away, you can choose to add steps at your own pace, adding more training and customization as you go. You can start by using simple elements of the RDI® Program, just from information from our books, DVD, web site or Introductory 2-Day Workshop offered in many locations. Then, as you progress, you can decide when and what next steps to take. What we recommend is that you read over the various steps and see what feels most comfortable. The benefits of the RDI® Program are best achieved when done in a way which feels manageable and empowering. You can start slowly and add on the other steps for the complete RDI® Program at any time.
