[QUOTE="buddy, post: 520818, member: 12886"] I know you are whalloped with information but I will share one more with you. I have actually talked to this man and it connects well with Greene's stuff.... RDI is called Relationship Development Intervention. It is by Steve Gutstein and the difference is that activities are provided for you to do at home. It was partially developed in response to criticisms of ABA (which I am not against but it is not for everything) it starts where they child is lagging in skills and helps develop the motivation and understanding of social communication. Several other therapists and I started incorporating many of the activities and games into our preschool communication and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) classes. We then started moving to higher levels and using it in elementary and mid. school. Q and I did lots of this stuff.... (and by that I mean there are ways to just walk side by side that become a game, you go on levels and it is easy to do stuff AT HOME) this is important because you are right, WE are our children's number ONE therapists....what we learn in Occupational Therapist (OT) and SLT should be things we can carry on at home. IT is really a nice way to work on social communication. The website used to list activities and have boards where even people with autism would talk about how the activities helped them....it seems to have changed over the years but you can purchase the books and assessment checklists to know where to start. The idea eventually is to hook up with others who are doing it and match the students so they can practice their skills. That may not happen for most but I found the activities to be really really easy to do, with common household materials and daily activities. Turns everything into a learning opportunity. I bet there would be some fun things you could angle for SweetPea too. by the way, this is used for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), yes...but was developed for kids with any social communication deficits including Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ADHD, Social/Emotional Disorders.....etc. [url]http://intentionalparents.com/dealing-with-special-needs/hannah-therapy/relationship-development-intervention-rdi/[/url] [url]http://www.autismweb.com/rdi.htm[/url] [url]http://www.amazon.com/The-RDI-Book-Relationship-Intervention/dp/0977718638[/url] [/QUOTE]
