Resumen del Editor

As a boy, Raun 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 Brown University and has become a passionate and articulate autism expert and educator with no trace of his former condition. Thanks to the Son-Rise Program, a revolutionary method created by his parents, Raun experienced a full recovery from autism. In Autism Breakthrough, Raun presents the ground-breaking principles behind the program that helped him and thousands of other families with special children. Parents and educators learn how to enable their children to create meaningful, caring relationships, vastly expand their communications, and to participate successfully in the world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Limitless hope . . . his personal faith in the program, his warmth, and the targeted application of principles will encourage readers to try his methods." ( Publishers Weekly)

Lesson in Love

Like many of us I'm still working to figure out how to best care for my child and equip him to live his best life so I won't offer any assessments of the relative effectiveness of the methods described in this book. What I will say is that I've been touched, encouraged & inspired by the deep demonstrations of love detailed in this book. I am applying some of the lessons from this book with my son who is on the spectrum but I will also be taking some of the lessons from this book and applying them with all of my children. The deliberate and purposeful methods for connecting with children outlined in this book have inspired and given me practical advice on being a better father to my children both on and off the spectrum.

Powerfully Positive --

I feel energized and excited to have access to the Sonrise Program. This book is all about shifting your mindset to joining your child's world and loving them totally and completely ...as they are...and then lays out specific methods to help your child join in our world. I was captivated from the time I pushed "play". The author (autistic as a child) exudes the qualities Energy Excitement and Enthusiasm...which are the three keys to bringing your child closer. His joyous positive narration is infectious., As a grandmother to a precious 4 year old with autism....I feel my mind has been opened ...that I've found a key to unlock the mystery of how to interact in a way that provides opportunities to assist. I want to be a support to my darling daughter in law and son, and this book was exactly what I needed. I can see that they are already implementing many of the ideas. Autism is a social relational disorder..,..not behavioral. This book inspires HOPE ...and gives clear guidance on how and why this program can impact the life of a child with autism....no matter what the level of their autism. This book is s blessing! I would highly recommend LISTENING to the audio book first! I bought the hard copy yesterday ..and plan to use it as a reference. The audio is powerful beyond words. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with all!

Inspiring!

This was one of the most amazing, kind and inspiring books. You won't regret the time spent on this book

Interesting perspective

I liked the strategies outline in thia book. I am already started with my child.

Lover this book

It helped me to understand what is autism, gave me hope that my daughter may be able to overcome this diagnosis.

A great approach.

As a health care provider and mother to a young son recently diagnosed with ASD, I enjoyed learning more about the son-rise principles and techniques. I found it to be very beneficial, not only in conveying important messages to parents regarding attitude and optimism, but a lot of the core principles and strategies make a lot of sense. In my realm of healthcare, ABA is the primary therapy recommendation. I had some colleagues of mine urge me to NOT look into this treatment modality. I felt it was in my family's best interests to explore all of the available information to better my understanding of what was out there. I was so glad that I did! I have already had good success implementing some strategies (excitement, energy, and enthusiasm) with some positive results.

Fabulous perspective of autism, and activities that truly are life-changing!

If you are a parent or a teacher, like me, that has hit a roadblock with your child, this is a great read! Not only will you get great strategies to use, but you will get to see a different perspective of how the brain works in general and how we as a society socialize. You will definitely walk away feeling empowered, uplifted, and hopeful! Follow these strategies, and she will make a life changing difference for your child with autism!

Highly Recommend reading

Highly recommend reading this very great book for parents of ASD children and to everyone that interacts with Autistic children. Thank you for writing this book and sharing your experience to us.

This book is life changing! As a new SLP, I am SO grateful I'm listening to this book so early in my career! I have kiddos on my caseload with ASD that I can't wait to treat and play with in a whole new way! I can't wait to refer the parents on my caseload to this book and this revolutionary program! THANK YOU for all you do and for opening my eyes in a way I never expected! ❤
