Summary:
"As a boy,
Raun
Kaufman
was diagnosed by multiple experts as severely autistic, with an IQ below 30, and destined to spend his life in an institution. Years later,
Raun
graduated with a degree in Biomedical Ethics from Brown University and has become a passionate and articulate spokesperson for the autism community. So what happened? Thanks to Son-Rise, an incredible program his parents created,
Raun
experienced a full recovery from autism. In Autism Breakthrough,
Kaufman
presents the ground-breaking principles behind the program that helped him, and so many other families with special children.
Kaufman
explains that autism is frequently misunderstood as a behavioral disorder when in fact it is a social relational disorder. He explains what it feels like to be autistic, and shows how and why the Son-Rise program, which focuses on the parent-child connection, works. And he offers clear, practical strategies for working with children that readers can apply immediately--in some cases, parents see a change in their children in as little as one day. Autism Breakthrough makes available for the first time in book form the principles and practical applications of the Son-Rise program, presented by someone who not only teaches the program, but has experienced the joy of it in his own life.
Raun
Kaufman
is the director of Global Education for Autism Treatment Center of America in Sheffield, Massachusetts, where the autism Intervention therapy Son-Rise program is taught and practiced. In 1976, his father, Barry
Kaufman
, published Son-Rise, a book about his son
