While we provide professionals with various RDI® tools and strategies that can be applied in the classroom, we do not train professionals to implement the RDI® program with individuals in this capacity. For more information on an official RDI® program, please visit the “RDI®” section of our website or contact us directly.

Training in the classroom for a group of students. The goal of this training is to help children understand some experiences that their peers with special needs encounter daily, raise their awareness and confidence as well as teach them effective ways to interact with and develop relationships with their peers with special needs. Some strategies include group discussions and hands on activities. This training requires the assistance of a teacher or classroom aide.
