Relationship Development Intervention
"By 1990, I had developed an excellent reputation in the Houston area for treating children and teens with Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and PDD. I prided myself on keeping up with the latest treatments and my intervention methods were “cutting edge.” My patients achieved measurable results. They made more eye contact. They possessed a greater repertoire of social scripts. They were better socialized and better tolerated by their peers. They could follow rules and were motivated to make friends and achieve in life." Dr. Steven Gudstein
