Son-Rise Programme

I recently had online start up sonrise program but im strugling to keep my son in the room for more than 1 hour. I also have difficulties to work on more than 1 goal. Do you mind keep in touch with as I need your experience. Thanks

ASC is life-long, so no amount of money is going to anything, but Simon Baron-Cohen states that the correct education at a very early age can make a big difference.

But anything that promises and costs a lot stay away from! I have bottled mountain air to sell, it's really helpful..want some? It's only 10 pounds a bottle...lol.

Hi Everyone,

I have been running a Son Rise Program for my son now for a few years. I have found it to be the very best of options, not just for me but for my whole family. What I like about it is that it focuses on inspiring and building rapport with my child. Before I started this I felt that I had lost the connection with my son and that was really hard to deal with. Within a short while of starting the program he started to speak and after a while sentences came. He no longer runs away, he is fully toilet trained, he doesn't trash the house, he talks to other children and plays with them, but best of all was we made the connection again, I felt he trusted me and loved me again.  There are so many more things that I gained from this program. He was eight years old when his school place collapsed and so I did this at home full time. Yes it took all my time, but it has been the most wonderful thing I ever did. The Autism Treatment Centre of America offer scholarships so money isn't an issue. Over the years I have got to know the Kaufman family and I have found them to be the most open, honest, generous and dedicated people. I have no hesitation in recommnding this therapy to anyone who is wanting to help their child to progress. 

Hi Portmhor

We went on the son-rise course 2010 and like you had reservations beforehand but it turned out to be great! Money was never the issue as most of the Uk courses were funded by Caudwell children charity. I dont think they are funding it this year but you can apply direct to them.

“Be very wary of anything that claims to be a miracle cure “

This is true so always best to do your research and ask other parents for feedback. We did this beforehand and it was also recommended by our GP who has a special interest in Autism.

ABA great but cost £40,000 pa most of this cost goes to management team. £100 per hour for consultant and £35 for supervisors etc. Tutors are the ones who do the work and they are hard to find hence they train up students who are not paid as much

At the end of the day its about spending 1-1 time and whatever you do will benefit both parents and the child.

Hi - as the others have said, be wary cost-wise.  What sort of school does your son go to?  I'm asking because his schooling, if it's the right kind, can make a great difference....altho over a longer periof of time.  I remember watching a tv prog on Sonrise.  The little boy came on but it was very intensive day in, day out.  After several months, if I remember correctly, he appeared to engage less. Perhaps because he felt he had had enough, at least for the time being??  Good luck with whatever you decide.
