We are not afraid of autism
The way we experience ourselves in the world is everything. As we work with individuals and families, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of how they are currently perceiving the world around them and how this is affecting their motivation to move towards growth. Our approach to treatment is experience-driven.

optimal learning environments wherein they are able to transform the relationship between individuals with autism and the world around them. Through a one step ahead model, we teach parents how to begin translating the world for their children in a way that fosters genuine security, competence and connection. As feelings of confusion and loneliness are gradually replaced with feelings of security and connection, the natural drive for growth and discovery emerges. Life becomes a playground!
Relationship Development Intervention® (RDI®) works to restore the pathway of typical development allowing individuals with ASD the same opportunities as others for meaningful growth. Our students develop into resilient, well-balanced, and fulfilled individuals.
Our team has worked alongside Dr. Steven Gutstein for the past six years to develop a curriculum emphasizing the development of dynamic intelligence, leading to greater mental agility, resilience and a strong sense of self.
Professional Training
Our team works with fellow educators, school systems and other treatment professionals (SLP, OT, PT, etc) to better understand the unique needs of individuals with autism in the learning/therapy environment.
