TwiddleU is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides education for Autistic and neurodiverse children in the greater Atlanta area. Our mission is to provide education, speech, occupational therapy and play therapy for Autistic and neurodiverse children at minimal or no cost to families in need. We are dedicated to involving parents in their child’s education while also providing learning resources and coworking spaces. The combination of in-person, hands- on and digital learning ensures families and their children receive the education, guidance and support needed for a successful future.
In this course you will learn about how to implement Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) at home. RDI is a parent-led approach that focuses on helping autistic children to develop social skills, think flexibly, understand different perspectives, and learn to engage and form close relationships with others. Unlike traditional therapy, RDI empowers parents and caregivers by making them the leaders of this therapy.
In this course you will learn the basics of how to get your at-home garden started, no matter how much space you may have.
