Relationship Development Assessment (RDA)

The Relationship Development Assessment™ Planning Module (RDA™) is at the heart of the RDI^® Program. This is a six-stage Intervention Planning assessment where we spend one-on-one time with you and your child to determine family readiness, which parent and child stages to begin working on, and identify obstacles and strengths. As each family is unique, this is also a time when we can determine how best to work with your family.

 

During this Planning Process, we will help you determine realistic, achievable goals. One of the most important aspects of the assessment is helping you find the easiest and best ways to set up your environment.
