About the Author
As a boy, Raun K. 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 the Ivy League's Brown University and has become a passionate and articulate spokesperson for the Autism community. Raun K. Kaufman is now
Director of Global Education of the Autism Treatment Center of America™.
So what happened?
Thanks to The Son-Rise Program®, an incredible program his parents created, Raun experienced a full recovery from Autism. In "Autism Breakthrough: The Groundbreaking Method That Has Helped Families All Over The World", 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 Kaufman 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.
It's a book that opens totally new doors and shows how to join children in their own unique worlds instead of demanding that they join ours, which makes it possible for these special children to defy their original often-very-limited prognoses. This is the must-want book for all parents, family members, educators, psychiatrists,psychologists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, special education teachers, pediatricians,Son-Rise Program volunteers, and people with an interest in Autism Spectrum disorders.
