RDI Takes Advantage of Neuroplasticity
Scientists have determined that persons with ASD are united by specific, lifelong, highly debilitating, neurologically based, information-processing difficulties. Even if the person with ASD is highly intelligent and has no co-occurring problems and symptoms, the way their brain processes information hinders their attainment of the typical goals that we aspire to - the goals that we associate with quality of life. Careful neurological research is revealing a unique neural “underconnectivity” that appears to underlie these learning problems. The RDI program helps to develop cognitive flexibility and executive functioning.
