With the funds that Colour My World is raising one of our aims is to introduce the Son-Rise Program to Sri Lanka and therefore give hope to many other parents with autism children. The Son-Rise Program is a powerful home based treatment program from the Autism Treatment Center of America and this program has helped thousands of kids all over the world.
By giving information on Son-Rise and also on other autism treatment programs, having autism workshops and seminars we aim to create a network for autism parents, cares and supporters in Sri Lanka, where we can share information and support each other and society to celebrate and cherish our precious children.
