May 22 - RDI & Floortime:
Developmental Approaches to ASD
Parents and providers are invited
to learn how to foster social engagement and purposeful communication in
children with autism spectrum disorders through the developmental approaches of
RDI and Floortime. Designed to be
effective across home, school and community environments, these effective
interventions can help create healthy foundations for social, emotional and intellectual
growth.
Relationship Development
Intervention: RDI was developed by Dr. Steve Gutstein to address the core
social deficits of autism, including rigid thinking, aversion to change,
incapacity to take another’s perspective, failure to empathize, and inability
to engage meaningfully with other people.
Discover how to use RDI to help your child acquire, in a gradual and
systematic way, the necessary skills and inherent motivation to fully
participate in family and social life, maintain true friendships and engage in
emotional relationships.
Floortime: Learn how to
advance your child’s emotional, social and intellectual capacities and develop
higher level symbolic play and abstract thinking. Developed by Dr.
Stanley Greenspan, Floortime is an effective therapeutic, affect-based
developmental model that has been successful in encouraging children on the
spectrum to interact and engage in relationships while enhancing motor
planning, communication, abstract reasoning and problem solving skills.
