For the first time, the Connections Center’s 2006 autism workshop schedule includes a workshop in the United Kingdom, where the National Autistic Society estimates 535,000 individuals have autism and approximately two million people are affected by the disorder. This includes family members and professionals involved in the care and support of people with autism.
“We are pleased that the RDI program is helping families around the world to remediate the core cognitive deficits of autism,” said Gutstein. “In the past 12 months, the number of autism consultants who have earned certification in the RDI program has increased more than 50 percent, which means more families in more communities can access the guidance they need to implement the RDI program effectively.”
