This is the title of my August article for Autism Today. After my July article, “What’s in an Acronym?” I began, more intently than ever, to research RDI treatment. Relationship Development Intervention is, I believe, the most complete training that exists for someone on the spectrum. One of the best elements about RDI is that the entire family learns right along with the person who has an ASD.
Autistic Spectrum Disorders are so much more than what most people realize and, at the same time, Autistic Spectrum Disorders are so much less. For example, on one hand, people with ASD’s are often thought of as being “unable” or ‘weak” when the exact opposite is usually the case. On the other hand, people with ASD’s are often regarded as being “too much trouble” when they are often the most willing helpers available.
It’s figuring out the magical “formula” to connect with people on the spectrum that leaves most of us struggling. This is where RDI comes in. I’m thrilled to say that I am on my way to learning more about RDI daily and even more thrilled to announce that I intend to become an RDI Certified Consultant in the very near future – after completing treatments with my son under an RDI Certified Consultant that I hope to be working with soon.

Thank you very much for your articles. You were recommended by my son’s teacher and I feel like your understanding of Autism is much greater than my son’s therapist. I hope that you’ll come to Pine Lane (Parker) and share your programs there.
