“Before I started RDI, I had two children and a child with a disability. After doing RDI for 18 months I now have 3 children who play together and we can all do new things as a family.”
A mother of an ASD child
"A recent comment made about our son...
We thought there was something about him but not ASD …He's too aware and interactive and affectionate! Our Feelings… GO RDI®.... love it when he breaks every expectation of ASD!!!”
Parents of a 7 year old boy with ASD
"Before I started RDI, anything, no matter how small, was enough to set me off. I was seriously considering suicide and even attempted it twice. Now I've started RDI®, it takes a whole lot more to push me over the edge and I feel better able to cope with life."
13 year old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome
"I have to consciously think back to remember where we were; how difficult even the simplest things were to do. Going shopping, having friends over, visiting, going to the park, Birthdays were all fraught with tension and trouble. Now we just go places and do things and don't even stop to think about what we might need to plan for or allow for. Life has normalised. Our family has laughter and unexpected moments we all can cope with and often be joyful about. Thanks to RDI we can look forward to the future as positive, promising and full of potential. "
Mother of a 13 year old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome
“RDI® helped us to gain a greater understanding of what was happening to our child and his reaction in different situations. The feeling of competence instead of frustration has changed our lives considerably. We have ownership and a positive outlook for our future.”
Angie and Michael Parents
“Because of RDI®, thousands of parents and educators have now realized that we can give our children and ourselves a second chance. We can provide our children with the opportunity to become dynamic thinkers and communicators. We can create pathways to success and a quality of life."
