An unmoderated private discussion group for sharing ideas about incorporating Relationship Development Intervention (RDI), an Autism Remediation program developed by Dr. Steven Gutstein and Dr. Rachelle Sheely, in a homeschooling program for parents with child(ren) on the Autism Spectrum. Membership in this group is limited to parents of children on the Autism Spectrum and their support personnel, including RDI consultants and consultants-in-training. The purpose of the group is to allow RDI-participating families a place to discuss homeschooling principles and ideas, particularly on combining RDI with homeschooling. Parents of ASD children who are considering RDI and/or homeschooling are also welcome to ask questions and get a glimpse into the lives of families incorporating these methods. While this list is unmoderated, topics should be kept within the realm of RDI and/or Homeschooling -- there are many lists available for general discussion of ASD. Members who repeatedly post wildly off-topic messages, or messages lacking in respect for the membership, will be removed.

We would also strongly reccommend joining the Autism Remediation For Our Children group, which is a support and discussion group about using the RDI program both in conjuntion with home schooling and traditional schooling.
