This group has been established as a collaborative support for parents and professionals interested in exploring the developmental underpinnings of typical development as related to the remediation of autism spectrum disorders through Relationship Development InterventionŽ (RDIŽ) as well as the underpinnings of technology as a support to this remediation.

For professionals(like physicians, psychologists, social workers, OTs, PTs, speech/language therapists, teachers,...): This group is intended to be a resource for increasing understanding of the developmental underpinnings of the intervention being used by their clients, for increased comfort level in referring clients to RDIŽ Program consultation, and/or for those interested in extending their knowledge base in preparation for training to be an RDIŽ Program Certified Consultant.

For parents: This group is intended to be a resource for increasing understanding of the typical developmental underpinnings for the development of relationships and mindfulness as well as for those interested in extending their knowledge base in preparation for training to be an RDIŽ Program Certified Consultant.

For those seeking support in use of technology (camcorders, lenses, mounts, computer video files/editing, uploading,...) in remediation: This group is intended to be a resource for networking about our needs, successes, etc.

RDIŽ Program Certified Consultants and Consultants in Training at any level are welcome.

This group is about extending understanding through collaboration and sharing of resources and is NOT to be construed in any way to be RDIŽ Program consultant training or RDIŽ Program consultation. (See www.rdiconnect.com for training info and contact your local RDIŽ Program Certified Consultant or Consultant in Training for RDIŽ Program consultation services.) Discussion of specific RDI remediation implementation is not on topic for this board.
