RDI® consultants who have trained with Connections Centre in Houston USA
Connect and Relate for Autism Inc (CARFA) is a group of Relationship Development Intervention RDI® Consultants Australia wide who also have training in Speech Pathology, Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Special Education and Music.

We are an Approved Service Provider under the funding from the Dept of FaHCSIA Helping Children with Autism - Early Intervention Service Provider Panel.

The Australian Government commissioned research to determine effective approaches to intervention for children with autism and Relationship Development Intervention®  RDI® was found to be an effective intervention. Connect and Relate for Autism Inc. is proud to be able to provide trained consultants who can guide Australian families with children with autism through the Relationship Development Intervention process.


Autism Help is Nation Wide

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.

 

Goals of RDI - Remediation

  • 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”
