What is RDI (Relationship Development Intervention)?

RDI® is a research-based, family-focused approach to building real-world relationship skills for neurodivergent individuals. It helps develop dynamic intelligence..the flexible thinking, problem-solving, and emotional insight we need to thrive in uncertain, ever-changing environments (like life!).

At Swell RDI, we take it further. Our coaching includes real talk about friendships, intimacy, and sexual health...areas often overlooked in traditional autism support. Whether you’re navigating parenting, late diagnoses, or want support in safe and meaningful relationship-building, we break it down into manageable chunks, with a personalized, respectful, and empowering approach.

Support includes:

•  1:1 + Group Youth Coaching (Inclusive, age-appropriate Sexual Health Education + Relationship Dev for ND minds)

•  Guidance for Parents

•  Training for Trainers (Educators, Clinicians, Employers)

At Swell RDI, we support neurodivergent youth, young adults, and their families with compassion, turning overwhelm into clarity and disconnection into authentic relationships.

For Parents: Personalized strategies, emotional support, and realistic action plans that build your confidence, even when the path feels uncertain.

For Youth & Young Adults: We help ND learners feel seen and understood—strengthening emotional insight, communication, decision-making, and life skills.

For Educators & Workplaces: Our Train the Trainer module equips schools, support workers, and employers with inclusive, real-world strategies rooted in RDI principles—like co-regulation, perspective-taking, and boundary setting.

We don’t just offer advice—we build bridges.

Whether you’re a parent, professional, or ND individual:
Swell RDI offers real conversations, practical tools, and connection-first coaching to help you thrive.
