Sometimes there is a misconception that RDI does not work with children who are non-verbal, that this is not for them. But Dr. Rachelle Sheely talks about her work with children on the spectrum that were non-verbal and how RDI® can be used with every child.

Managing a Dynamic World Part 1
A lot of people think there’s this continuum of dynamic on one end and static on the other, where you got this opposite… That sort of the opposite of static, and it’s not at all.

And that’s what systems theories tell us, and there are two very important ways in which dynamic situations or systems are different from their chaotic ones.
Why RDI and What is It?: Part II
