Parents Remediating Autism
Relationship Development Intervention

             Presented by:
       Amy Cameron, MA, CCC-SP
        Certified RDI Consultant
      Speech-Language Pathologist
Autism treatment should start with an
understanding of autism.
What is autism?
• Defining autism is sometimes confusing
  because it is a spectrum disorder

• Additionally, people with autism may show
  different symptoms

• Unfortunately, people with autism are pre-
  disposed to having co-occurring conditions
Symptoms of autism
Symptoms are an indication that the disorder is
present.
-repetitive behavior
-poor social skills
-unusual communication
-differences in behavior
Co-Occurring Conditions
Those conditions that may go along with autism.

-sensory disorder
-gut issues
-sleep disorder
-speech or language disorder
-anxiety
-ADD or ADHD
Core Deficit
The common areas of impairment in all those
with the diagnosis.

  Autism is a disorder of brain development.

 The connectivity and collaborations of the
neural pathways in the brain are different in
people with autism.
The brain differences directly impact how the
person learns, communicates and processes
information
Static and Dynamic Intelligence
• One way to summarize the strengths and
  difficulties in autism
• Static Intelligence deals with patterned,
  predictable and rule based information
• Dynamic Intelligence deals with grey area,
  inferential, changing, and emotional
  information.
Examples of Static Intelligence
•   2+2=4
•   Schedule following
•   Imitating
•   Colors
•   Rules
•   Logic
•   Computer use
•   Formulas
•   Memorization
Examples of Dynamic Intelligence
•   Problems with no absolute answers
•   Good enough thinking
•   Incomplete projects
•   Grey area thinking
•   Managing multiple roles
•   Dealing with surprises
•   Contextual processing
•   Emotional regulation
All people need both static and dynamic
intelligence.


However, because people with autism
universally have deficits in dynamic intelligence,
it is essential to address.

Dynamic intelligence is the central focus of RDI.
GREAT!


 How do I address Dynamic Intelligence with my
child with autism?
We need to think about the input
• Cognition and communication are very tightly
  linked
• Communication can be static or dynamic in
  nature
• Static communication includes questions,
  commands and prompts
• Dynamic communication includes all other
  language functions
When communicating with a person
        who has autism…
• Most people end up using questions,
  commands and prompts (trying to “get” the
  child to talk)

• However, if the brain is only exposed to static
  communication, how can we expect it to think
  dynamically?
Recommendations for Communication
• Utilize non-verbal means to communicate
  when possible
• SLOW DOWN
• Use you language to “give” to the child and
  not with the intention of “getting” from the
  child (model your own thinking)
• Use language that helps the child to think and
  act on his own
• SLOW DOWN
We consider how Dynamic Intelligence
          naturally occurs.
• Dynamic Intelligence evolves from
  relationships and experiences with others.
• We pass our thoughts and ideas through
  other's.
• In this way we gain more perspectives,
  become more flexible and expand from their
  knowledge.
The Guided Participation Relationship
Unfortunately, this form of learning is
        disrupted in autism
Re-establishing the Guided Participation
Relationship is top priority in RDI.
We teach parents how to set up
opportunities for the child to think for
               himself
Parents learn to slow down and
communicate in ways their child can
           be successful.
Parents become mindful of the child’s
dynamic abilities and challenge child
        to take the next step.
