Raun K. Kaufman
Raun K. Kaufman is an international
speaker, writer and teacher for The Son-Rise
Program® at the Autism Treatment
Center of America™. In his work with families,
children, and professionals from around the world,
Mr. Kaufman brings a distinctive qualification to
the realm of Autism treatment—his own personal
history.
At 18 months, Raun was diagnosed
as severely and incurably autistic. Although advised
to institutionalize Raun, his parents, authors/teachers
Samahria and Barry Neil Kaufman, instead created an
innovative home-based, child-centered program in an
effort to reach their son. Their work, which developed
into a unique methodology now known as The
Son-Rise Program®, enabled Raun to recover
completely from his Autism, transforming him from
a mute, withdrawn child with a tested I.Q. of less
than 30 into an outgoing, social boy with a near-genius
I.Q. Raun’s story was recounted by his father,
Barry Neil Kaufman, in the best-selling book Son-Rise:
The Miracle Continues, and was also
the subject of an award-winning NBC television movie,
Son-Rise: A Miracle of Love.
