The Kaufman's unique program, which marked a departure from existing methods of treatment, transformed Raun from a mute, withdrawn child with an IQ of less than 30 into a highly verbal, socially interactive youngster with a near-genius IQ. he went on to graduate from an Ivy League university, bearing no trace of his former condition. Raun K. Kaufman is now the CEO of the Autism Treatment Center of America.
Instead of forcing a child to conform to a world they do not yet understand, we seek to engage the child in their world first, striving to understand what will be most effective to the individual child's growth. Through enthusiastic and playful interactions, the children invite us into their world, than we guid them into ours.
Son-Rise program principles
* Each child's/adult's potential is limitless
* Autism is not a behavioral disorder; it's a relational, interactional disorder
* Motiation, not repetition, holds the key to all learning
* "Stimming" (repetitive) behaviors have important meaning and value
* The parents are the child's best resource
* Every child/adult can progress in the right environment
* Parents and professionals are most effective when they feel comfortable, optimistic about their child's capabilities and hopeful about their child's future
