As a certified Consultant I provide an individualised plan together with parent coaching and support in accordance with the RDI® - Family Consultation Program. The RDI® program excels where other programs fail by:
- Educating, empowering and valuing parents to create profound changes in their child.
- Providing a consultative model that puts parents in their rightful role as guides to their children significantly reduces the cost of treatment. Parents spend the most time around their children – not therapists! Parents learn to their to be the therapist for their child.
- Utilising a balanced treatment planning process that considers the autism as well as other conditions or obstacles, and takes the needs of the whole family into account.
- Allowing families to live life while treating autism. Families experience the quality of life they deserve and learn how to make remediation of autism a part of their everyday life. It does not have to separate from everyday life.
- Constantly evolving to reflect new research and information, which ensures that the program remains cutting-edge and relevant over time.
- Using an innovative web-based system to provide parents with continuous access to program information, communication with their consultant, video footage, and much more on an ongoing basis.
