Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®)
C O N N E C T I N G P A T H W A Y S
The RDI program was designed based on the work of Dr. Steven Gutstein and the latest research supporting brain development. The main focus is knowing that the parents are the best guides for their child/youth and giving parents the skills to help develop their child’s thinking skills to help create independent thinkers, enhance communication skills to help navigate through this complex world we live in. We do this by guiding parents to learn/use the every day moments to become optimal learning opportunities, and knowing the long term goal is creating positive, empowering processes for the child and family. RDI recognizes that every individual and family is unique. Together, we will create a program that is best suited for your child/youth and family.
As a certified RDI consultant, I will guide you on every step of the way.
Parent Support
I offer consultation and coaching to families of autistic children and teens, and those with other developmental disabilities or other diverse learning needs.
Together we will identify the successes and obstacles of each family and determine practical strategies to help the child/teen thrive. This helps families have a sense of direction of what is needed, what steps to take, and guidance on how to implement the strategies successfully.

Support for ECE Professionals
It's time to stop using outdated strategies that focus solely on behaviour control. These old approaches don’t work, and they can even cause harm to the students we want to help. It's time to prioritize quality of life for autistic individuals.
I am passionate about equipping ECE professionals, EAs and learning support staff with the knowledge and tools to understand and reduce challenging behaviours at school. Let's help autistic children grow and thrive!
Ready to learn a better way to support autistic and neurodiverse students? I'd love to help.
