ABA vs The Son-Rise Program

Watch the series of 60-90 second video clips that, in a funny but sweet way, outline the differences between ABA and The Son-Rise Program.

Parents are the best resource for the child and our wish is that we can get The Son-Rise Program's message of hope out to other parents.

The purpose of these videos is to stimulate debate and discussion in a playful, fun, and lighthearted way. Our goal is to outline the key differences between ABA and The Son-Rise Program and to give parents the knowledge so that they can make an educated choice for their child and their family.

The Son-Rise Program® gives hope and inspiration to parents EVERYWHERE of a child on the Autism Spectrum. Please read on to discover that ...

AUTISM IS CURABLE. Autism is curable. Autism is curable. I always wonder why some people get indigestion when we say what we know. Why use the word? Not to define Autism as a disease, but to emphasize that Autism does not have to be a life sentence. The past doesn't predict the future unless you believe in the past. We have helped parents to fully recover their children. We have worked with boys and girls with Autism who have defied the prognosis of experts. This is not a game of who is right - this is an opportunity to assert what you believe is possible with your child and go for it.

"I SAT IN MY CAR AND CRIED" (This is one beautiful human event!!!)

"I just got home from my very first "parent-teacher" conference for my 5 1/2 year old son, Joshua. We put Josh into main stream kindergarten this year with his peers. Josh was diagnosed with Autism four years ago this month. We were devastated at the time. Through our journey of ups and downs with the "services" he was offered, we finally found The Option Institute/Autism Treatment Center of America almost two years ago. It CHANGED our lives! In just the first hours spent with Josh with our new Son Rise Program attitudes we saw a difference in him.
Today, I sat in my car in the parking lot of my sons school and cried. I cried because the teacher told me I have one of the most typical kids she has come across. He is well adjusted, transitions easily, has lots of friends and even gets into a little trouble for talking too much!!! We have let our last volunteer go and have begun to transition our "playroom" into a room with more toys, Legos and a touch of chaos.
We are so thankful that The Son Rise Program is apart of our lives! Josh wouldn't be the kid he is now without it. As a parent, I hope I can spread the hope to others out there such as you have done. Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul for never giving up on your son. You gave me the courage to be a better person for my son.
