Bio:

Ms. Soetantyo, co-founder of the CATCH clinic, has been working with children under the ASD spectrum since 1994.  Maisie received her degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from UCLA under the supervision of Dr. Ivar Lovaas of the Young Autism Project.  Upon graduation, Maisie worked under Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders for 6 years, holding the titles of Supervising Therapist and Clinic Supervisor.  As supervisor, she was responsible for providing ongoing program supervision to families in Michigan, Ohio, San Jose, as well as the East and North Bay areas.  Specifically, her responsibilities included providing individualized programs, parent and therapist trainings using Behavior Modification technique (ABA).

 

In 2001, Maisie co-founded the Comprehensive Autism Treatment for Children clinic in Sunnyvale California.  The clinic was designed to be a facility to combine all aspects of treatment for ASD children and adolescents into one, all-inclusive treatment plan. In 2004, Maisie was a member of the inaugural class of Dr. Steven Gutsteins’ RDI^® Consultants Certification program and has maintained her re-certification credentials for 5 years.  In 2007, Maisie was one of the first RDI^® consultants invited to supersede Dr. Gutstein in his role as host and primary speaker for the Connections Center’s extra-Houston Four-Day Parent Training workshops, and frequently serves as a breakout specialist for the Connections Center’s domestic Parent Training Seminars.  In addition, Maisie is also part of the certification committee for the Connections Center, and she also provides supervision to RDI Certifications program trainees.

 

In 2005 Maisie started the CATCh FIRE immersion program, and she continues to work with families from all over the U.S. and around the world via the RDI Immersion program.  As the senior consultant of CATCH Clinic, Maisie continues to provide RDI presentations and assessments in the Bay Area, New York, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
