Introduction to Relationship Development Intervention
Introduction to RDI (Relationship Development Intervention)
Presented by Carrie Sheppard, LMHC
Maybe you have heard of RDI and are curious enough to learn more about it. This is an ideal opportunity to be introduced to the basics of RDI, a parent-driven model for addressing the core deficits of autism. Come see videos of parents using RDI and the dramatic results they achieve with their children, as they move from a world of solitary play to active engagement with their parents and others. Children who struggle with rigidity and attention issues become self confident, flexible thinkers and problem solvers under their parent's careful guidance. The basics of what an RDI program looks like and how a parent can begin will be covered. Appropriate for: Parents
Date: April 28, 2010
Time: 7 p.m.
Fee: $20
Child care is not available for this presentation
To register go to http://www.mindsourcecenter.com/trainings.html. Or call the receptionist (253)-639-7146 with a credit card to reserve your space.

Tips for Retaining and Generalizing Skills
Make it Stick! Tips for Retaining and Generalizing Skills
Presented by Carrie Sheppard, LMHC
Ever wonder why people with autism have such fantastic memories for facts, lines from movies, and other seemingly-trivial bits of information, while some of the other skills we try to teach just won't stick?
"Make it stick!" addresses autobiographical memory--a specific type of memory deficit characteristic of autistic individuals. Lack of this type of memory is partially responsible for poor generalization of social skills taught by most programs. It is also a factor in anxiety, low self-esteem, and underdeveloped sense of identity.
This session will help you learn how to promote better application of skills taught and how to nurture a more positive sense of self in children on the autism spectrum. Appropriate for: Parents and professionals
