The RDI® Program is:
A parent-driven clinical treatment program where parents are provided the tools to effectively teach dynamic intelligence skills and motivation to their child.
About the joy in connecting: a path for people on the Autism Spectrum to learn friendship, empathy, and a love of sharing their world and experiences with others.
About changing neurology: a way for people on the spectrum to become flexible thinkers and creative problem solvers who enjoy the challenges of change and who desire to expand their world.
Based on over 20 years of research by world experts on typical development as well as scientific studies on people with autism.
Developmental & systematic: a step-by-step program that focuses first on building the motivations so that skills will be used & generalized; followed by carefully and systematically building the skills for competence and fulfillment in a complex world.
Realistic: a program that can be started easily, and implemented seamlessly into regular, day-to-day activities to enrich the life of the whole family.
Precise: a method that measures and begins at the edge of each person's capability and then carefully but continually raises the bar.
Effective: within 18 months, over 70% of children in our initial study improved their diagnosis based on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). The majority of children also moved from a special education to a regular classroom without needing an aide.

"Carrie was great. She is very insightful, and it was interesting having her RDI as well as her psychotherapy take on things. She made a lot of our child's behaviors make sense, and we were able to see our daughter in a different light."
