Why we should cease demanding eye contact from children with Autism. Why not develop circumstances where the child wants to look at us. Eye contact is not a social skill, but an instinct we use when comfortable with our partners to gain perspectives and share experiences. Prompting eye contact from a child does not mean that they are paying attention to you, it may in fact have the complete opposite effect.

Thank you Kathy for RDI info. Three years ago, Our Child Development Specialist/Pediatrician has recommended RDI for our 6 year old son. We have not had much success with our insurance company covering this service. Also, there are few RDI Consultants in our region. July 8, 2011 5:04 AM
