New
Autstim Therapy Methods Available
in Tampa Bay Area, Florida
Using
a new therapy developed for autism spectrum disorders
including Aspergers Syndrome and PDD-NOS we help clients
develop rewarding personal relationships. The program
teaches skills and motivations of reciprocal experience
sharing interactions.
Prior to our program, most interventions taught children
on the autism spectrum to perform scripted behaviors in
response to social relationships. As clinicians, we could
never program for every social interaction a child may
encounter. The process of teaching social skills without
teaching the child to understand social interactions have
not demonstrated their effectiveness in producing real-life
social interactions and friendships.
For example, a child may be taught how to greet another
child on a playground. However, if the rehearsed remark
does not produce the expected response, the child is left
with no real ability to understand and participate in
the social interaction.
These types of programming interventions result in a child
having a huge knowledge base of information, but no real
skills for sharing and communicating their knowledge and
understanding. The RDC program bridges that gap and provides
children with the skills necessary to develop meaningful
relationships and communication.
