Why RDI and What is it Part 2
Are We Selling Our Children Short? From Dr Gutstein
In all of my years as an autism researcher, I have yet to come across another model that does what RDI® does. The problem that I see in the autism community at large is that everyone is only offering the ability to learn little discrete skills.
They are underestimating the children.
Dr. Steven Gutstein
At RDI®, we believe that everyone should think BIG!
The truth is, the world needs to raise the bar on autism treatment.
Children are being forced to parrot back scripted questions and higher levels of ability are virtually unheard of--much less laying the foundation for motivation and dynamic intelligence.
Parents are being trained--without even knowing it--to accept very little for their children.
With RDI®, we want you to think bigger for your child!
We want to raise that bar and say, "Look, your child CAN have all that."
They can have dynamic intelligence, fulfilling relationships and a real shot at independence and quality of life in adulthood.

Anxiety
It's not always easy to spot the signs of anxiety in children, especially children on the spectrum.
Up to nearly 50% of autistic children receive another diagnosis at some point in their development, and the most common co-occurring condition is anxiety.
Children with autism often experience anxiety like neurotypical children, but sometimes it can show up in a different way.
8 Ways a Child's Anxiety Shows Up as Something Else
1. Anger
2. Difficulty sleeping
3. Defiance
4. Chandeliering
5. Lack of Focus
6. Avoidance
7. Negativity
8. Overplanning
To learn more about these coping tactics and how to recognize and reduce your child's anxiety, read our latest blog "Spotting Signs of Anxiety in Children with Autism."
