A Video Documenting Full Recovery using The Son-Rise Program
An inspiring before and after video documenting the recovery of a boy with Autism using The Son-Rise Program treatment, a cutting-edge approach for Autism treatment which flies in the face of the conventional ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) approach. The video features Simon, just one of the many children who made a full recovery from Autism using The Son-Rise Program. Simon tells his story from his Autism diagnosis to his hopes today as a gregarious 19 year-old college freshmen.
"I'm thrilled to be able to share this video with the Autism community. Like many of the children who have benefitted from our program and like my son Raun, Simon is an excellent example of a Son-Rise Program child exceeding any expectation that his doctors had for him and eventually even being off the Autism spectrum," said Barry "Bears" Neil Kaufman.
Simon's story is a testament to never giving up hope, never setting limits on any child's future just because they are diagnosed with Autism. As Simon's video story shows, this perspective enabled Simon and his parents to choose an alternative to institutionalization that allowed him to leave his Autism behind to become a communicative, social young man. The sky is the limit for him.
Simon's mother attributes her son's recovery from Autism to The Son-Rise Program...
"Simon was diagnosed by doctors who told me he had a less than 30 I.Q., would NEVER speak or recognize me again, and he would be severely autistic. Today, Simon is an authentic, loving, introspective person... truly a young Son-Rise Program child growing into his future. Years ago, I was told by a Son-Rise teacher that by growing up with the principles of this program, it would continue to be our guide to living. He had found that many of the children he had known would grow up to lead extraordinary lives. We believed in that possibility for Simon, and he has already fulfilled that vision. My husband and I hope that by sharing this very personal video with the world during Autism Awareness Month, that other families will hear Simon's words and find their way to The Son-Rise Program as well."
