Core Tenets of RDI®

• Relationship Development Intervention® is a program being used internationally to equip families and adults that have neurologically based development challenges like autism to normalize their lives and regain a sense of productive progress in their family or individual growth process.

• RDI® is an effective efficient way of working with families of autistic children to remediate the core deficits of autism and engage more in the social world.
• RDI® is a parent empowerment program for parents and families of children with special needs. I have seen unbelievable changes in the whole family and the support this program gives with a personal consultant as well as a huge supportive community is amazing.

• RDI® forms the basis of how my service works to support families of individuals with autism or other related disorders. It looks to re-establish an individual’s understanding of their relationship with other people and how they can make use of the experiences of others
• Relationship Development Intervention® is a program for families in crisis who have children on the autism spectrum or who have another relationship based disorder.

• RDI® is a program designed to re-teach parents how to relate to their child with autism. Relating to a child with Autism is very different to relating to a child without Autism.

• Relationship Development Intervention® is an amazing technique teaching parents the way to engage with their behavior challenged child. We want parents to successfully support their child in an interactive functional way- with a goal that each child will truly LIVE to their best ability.

• RDI® helps people who struggle to connect socially. It is a family-focused program that teaches the skills fundamental to making and maintaining meaningful relationships by working with parents and children.
• RDI® is a consultation program to guide families impacted by autism to rebuild a successful guiding relationship among the family –  not struggle with the instrumental interactions, but instead to have more real life meaningful experiences.
