Parents
You can now enroll your special needs preschool child in an inclusive private preschool where normal and special needs children grow cognitively and psychologically, learning and playing together. Each special needs child receives individual psychotherapy every school day right in the classroom. The federal goal of inclusive education and the clinical goal of early intensive treatment for childhood psychiatric problems can be met currently and with no bureaucratic delay – all within the Kiwi Preschool and Child Care Center in Santa Rosa, CA.
Autism Spectrum Disorders
It is not generally appreciated how sensitive and anxious most children are who suffer from autism. Many started life with a low threshold to stimuli and interactions that seem ordinary to others. They can feel injured by sounds, touches, simple transitions and human contact events. We harness small social networks of teachers, parents, peers and therapist to coax and guide children into their real worlds.

The specific topic of the level of anxiety among children with autism was the focus of Dr. Kliman’s recent paper presented at the European Psychoanalytic Association, Stockholm 2015, called “Two Kinds of Too Much” (available on ResearchGate.com among publications by Gilbert W. Kliman, MD).
RNT typically helps many children unreachable by other psychotherapies
whether they have diagnoses of ASD, social communication disorders, serious emotional disorders, ADHD, behavioral problems, posttraumatic stress disorder, co-occurring or multiple diagnoses.
