I would suggest if the child is higher functioning that RDI is probably more appropriate, it's so hard to know because some therapies suit some children better than others depending on their level of functioning and their age.

I know I wouldn't ever have gone down the ABA route for my older higher functioning son but really wish I had known about RDI when he was younger because this looks to be very relevent for him.

ABA is the right thing imo for my youngest who is very severe and non verbal but at 14 the play side of things is not of any interest to him, so my experience is functioning and age are the issue when deciding on a therapy.
