I am currently exploring whether RDI is something that can be used across settings - including school, and will be sending people the way of your blog. Thank you for continuing to share your successes.

Please share any relevant video clips that show it being used in a more RDI friendly way.

It really is very effective for more severe children who have so much to say and they can learn so well in this manner. I like it because it is not the rote ABA teaching that seems to be forced on so many kids even when it proves to be ineffective and would pair so well with RDI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-48031141888901728272015-01-22T01:11:09.492-08:002015-01-22T01:11:09.492-08:00Thank you, Family Ties.

We do believe in a slow paced, thoughtful, mindful style of education. And guess what! When you follow an educational philosophy which recognizes children as persons, give them time to chew on what they are learning, give them open ended questions (tell me about X), and blank pages to draw or write what was learned (instead of worksheets), children thrive. Our formerly nonverbal student (he had words but nobody would wait 20 seconds for him to process) is now speaking in long sentences, asking questions, AND picking up Spanish!<br /><br />Hurrumph and bah humbug to those people!walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-84551082686589735082015-01-11T04:42:31.074-08:002015-01-11T04:42:31.074-08:00I know, I also can't understand it.
