The Autism Society of the Philippines, in partnership with the Independent Living Learning Center (ILLC) will host a seminar on Relationship Development Intervention (RDI): The First Intervention that Remediates the Core Deficits of Autism on 19 May 2012.
RDI®, Relationship Development Intervention is a family centered approach that is the first intervention for Autism that targets the ‘core deficits’ of autism. Developed by Dr. Steven Gutstein and his wife Dr Rochelle Sheely, it is an effort to achieve better quality of life for people with autism. An “engagement model” program, RDI® is not wedded to any specific technologies but seeks to develop the most effective methods to remediate those specific ‘core deficits’ which impede people with autism spectrum from productive communication, social interaction, employment and independent dynamic living. During this 2 hour seminar, Ms. Jennifer Peters will give us an overview of RDI®. To foster a better appreciation of RDI's® practical applications, quick work shop activities and demonstration video clips will be utilized. This seminar includes what it involves for professionals and family members undertaking the programme and the effects of the programme on individuals.
