Connect and Relate for Autism’s Relationship Development Intervention RDI® consultants. Our RDI® Consultants are based in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Families can access the RDI® consultants either in a face to face context or at a distance. The RDI® programme is managed through an online interactive computer system - the RDIos™ that allows education, consultation and feedback to be a continuous active process between consultant and family regardless of their location. RDI® consultants and families arrange travel as required for face to face sessions and for the Relationship Development Assessment RDA™. This can be either to the family’s location or to the consultant’s base centre. The RDIos™ tracks progress and enables the family to interact with the RDI® community world wide through live webinars, online chats and parent forums.

• Restoring the child’s trust and motivation for cognitive apprenticeship
• Building children’s competence in mastering increasingly complex dynamic systems in many different settings with many different partners
• Transferring the impetus for discovery and life-long growth to the child
• Increasing neural integration & collaboration
• Restoring normal family life

RDI® is about providing Second Chances to function in a complex and ever changing world. Each child deserves a second chance to address areas of developmental proficiency that typical children achieve in their early months and years

This is REMEDIATION

“When we provide a second chance and re-introduce the dynamic world in a more mindful, deliberate manner, children with ASD benefit from Guided Participation as much as anyone else”
