RDI Consultant in Training
About
In the United States, Autism affects 1 out of 44 children. Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) is an approach to treating Autism based in neuroscience. Parents work with a consultant and are empowered with knowledge and tools to remediate the core challenges of ASD. Children can become dynamic thinkers and better able to deal with uncertainty.
With over 15 years in the school setting working as a school counselor, I'm excited to start on this new path! I'm looking forward to helping parents restore their hopes and dreams for their children.
What is RDI?
RDI is a treatment for Autism based in neuroscience
RDI is based on the latest scientific research about Autism, the brain, and developmental psychology.
​
It is often referred to as the "missing piece to the puzzle" in the treatment of Autism.
Parents work with a consultant who will support them as they become mindful guides who remediate core challenges.
Children's motivation to learn (their growth seeking drive) increases which leads them to accept challenges and master new, more complex situations.
After the initial consultation, services include a non-diagnostic assessment, individualized treatment planning, and goal setting.
