Stories & testimonials

“Lisa is a gem. I spoke with three different consultants when we were investigating RDI, and while the other two are great as well, I can honestly say that I believe Lisa is the BEST in Canada.”

“During my long nights of research, I stumbled onto a little know program based in Huston, Texas, called RDI which stood for Relationship Development Intervention that now has become an International Parent-Based treatment program for children with Autism. RDI and Lisa Palasti, the RDI consultant that Terry and I visited every 2 weeks in Kitchener for 10 years was instrumental in transforming Katie into the loving, quirky, independent, brilliant, funny, sweet young adult she is today.”

“I just had to email you and share … this morning my jaw dropped and my heart flipped when saying goodbye to my daughter, she stopped eating her breakfast, looked up at me – I mean truly looked at me – and said ‘I love you too!’ This was a first and I attributed it all to the communication changes and recommendations you have given us. Thank you Lisa!”

“We truly feel that under the guidance of our consultant, Lisa Palasti, we have created for Jack and our family a true quality of life. Update: Jack is doing very well! It’s amazing to see how able he is to self-regulate in comparison to where he was when we started RDI.”

“She had a deep knowing of how to adjust herself to help him feel at ease, to allow him to feel the joy of connecting and interacting which ultimately led to an explosion of learning in all facets of life.”

“Lisa was also tremendously helpful in helping us teach Felix’s teachers not only how to help him but how to enjoy having him in their class.”

“Thanks for all you have done for our family! We are very grateful to have chosen RDI and to have worked with you.”
