October 10-11. 2015 | Shanghai, China

Hangzhou Young Education consultant. Co.,Ltd (Yehealth), a professional organization supporting

children with speech development delay and ASD in China, in collaboration with the RDI Connect and

CATCH Clinic, are proud to announce the very first RDI Connect authorized RDI Introductory Workshop

for parents and professionals in mainland China. Over two full and informative days, the event will

highlight research-based core deficits of Autism Spectrum Disorders, and provide an overview of how

this innovative remediation program can improve long-term quality of life, increase motivation and

competence for every individual on the Autism spectrum. Participants will learn through lecture, lively

discussions and video clips how to implement RDI principles using practical daily opportunities.

Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®)

Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®) offers customized cognitive-developmental treatment

programs for individuals and families facing social, emotional, behavioral and communication

difficulties. RDI® is often described as “the missing piece of the puzzle” in the treatment of Autism

Spectrum Disorders, and works to improve neural connectivity in individuals diagnosed with ASD as well

as Reactive Attachment Disorder, ADHD, Tourette Syndrome and other developmental issues.

The RDI® program teaches parents how to guide their child to seek out and succeed in true reciprocal

relationships, while addressing key core issues such as motivation, communication, emotional

regulation, episodic memory, rapid attention-shifting, appraisal, executive functioning, flexible thinking

and creative problem solving. Helping parents restore the guide-apprentice relationship opens the

doors for “Dynamic Intelligence” development which helps children improve their self -awareness,

self-regulation, empathy, competence, self-worth, adaptability and independence.

What to Expect from the Workshop

Held over 2 full days, 10thand 11th October 2015, this is the very first RDIConnect USA approved

workshop to take place in mainland China. The Shanghai workshop will cover a broad range of topics

including the most up-to-date research on Autism, the importance of Dynamic Intelligence, an

overview of the RDI program, implementing RDI objectives at home, working with an RDI Consultant

and the RDI Learning System, and will also provide information on the RDI Certification Training for both

parents and professionals.

The workshop will be led by long-time Autism specialist and RDI Program Certified Consultant, Ms.

Maisie Soetantyo, co-founder of the CATCH Clinic of Northern California and Indonesia. Miss Soetantyo

has been working with children with special needs since 1994. She has been practicing as an RDI

Program Certified Consultant for eleven years and upon attaining her Masters Degree in Curriculum
