Parent Reviews and Autism Journey Letters:
“Maximum Impact was amazing! It is a smaller, more intimate group so we Son-Rise Program parents are able to connect more with others and learn more from our teachers. Maximum Impact goes hand-in-hand with Son-Rise Program Start-up. It was such an eye-opener for me. It gave me a better understanding and picture of how to continue leading a more effective Son-Rise Program. It was a huge boost of energy and self-confidence that I needed in order to do an even better job in the playroom with my child. My attitude is so much better and I am leaving so excited to join my child in the playroom!”
~ Rebecca Simon, Teacher, MD , Childs Name Yisrael, Age 10, Diagnosis High Functioning Autism/PDD-NOS
“This program has strengthened our Son-Rise Program and us tremendously. I am very excited to being so much energy, information and love home and into our program. It has only been 4 months since our Son-Rise Program Start-up and it was so relieving to be back here so quickly. It’s the perfect timing to keep our momentum going, have the opportunity to get the playroom going and have questions answered before getting lost. I would recommend coming soon after the Start-up to really solidify your beliefs and convictions about running the best Son-Rise Program you can."
~ Colleen Errington, Social Worker, OH, Childs Name Gavin, Age 5, Diagnosis Autism
“The Son-Rise Program Maximum Impact provides the participants with the tools and the fundamental beliefs that can serve not only as a foundation for a program that has the capacity to recover a child from Autism but to also empower the parent to change their lives and the lives of their families for the better.”
~ Donnie Hamlett, System Engineer, NY, Childs Name Enensa, Age 8, Diagnosis Autism PDD
"Before The Son-Rise Program®, I was frustrated beyond belief. Everyone offered a speedy diagnosis along with a grim prognosis, but NO HELP! No information on how to help my child, and it was just out of our hands. Finding the Autism Treatment Center of America™ was like a road back home. I know my child better than any professional, and The Son-Rise Program® lets me use my power, not only to reach my son, but to be awed by him. He's already doing things 6 months into the program that were deemed impossible."

"My 16-year-old son and family were in a crisis when we first heard about The Son-Rise Program. He was having numerous seizures, becoming aggressive at school and was very unhappy. Fourteen months later, with the benefit of the program taught at the Autism Treatment Center of America, Tyler is so happy. His conversation skills have developed incredibly, his seizures have been reduced from every 5 days to as long as 6 weeks apart! He gives spontaneous hugs, talks about his feelings, has developed a great imagination and is more comfortable in groups and new situations. We are so thankful to have found a way to help Tyler."

Diagnosis: Autism/Epilepsy
"When we took The Son-Rise Program Start-Up and Maximum Impact we knew it was right for John. We have not wavered from this and, frankly, the proof is in my son's progress. John was nonverbal before the program—I stopped counting when his vocabulary hit 300 words! He now strings together small sentences and learns new words and sentences every day. He understands numbers to 100 and can do simple addition and subtraction. He knows his colors and his ABC's. He is imaginative, loving and so funny. One of his therapists from school could only stare when she saw John recently and couldn't believe how much he had changed in just the last 3 months."

"What an uplifting and empowering week! The information we learned from The Son-Rise Program Start-Up was more solidified and made clearer. The Son-Rise Program Maximum Impact will definitely take our Son-Rise Program to a different and more energetic pace and level! I cannot wait to get home. This is definitely a '10' experience!"

"The Son-Rise Program Maximum Impact not only will allow me to run an effective Son-Rise Program, but it also taught me how to be a more effective leader in all areas of my life. I will now be a better husband, father and employee. In addition to helping me understand how I can control my beliefs and responses, it also addressed concerns directly related to issues of language development and suggestions on how to address other challenges our son has. It was the best experience I have ever had!"
