“Our world fell apart…I’m a special educator, I’m a developmental therapist. My daughter Emma had no problem-solving skills, she couldn’t read any body language and she didn’t use gestures. She wasn’t actually playing with children, she was playing beside children. There were really big meltdowns that involved violence. She would get angry and she would cry and then she would start to push us, and then she would start to grab us, and then she would start to scratch us. It was 45 minutes, an hour…sometimes 3 hours. Now, we have a child who plays with her peers, is successful in the community and does all kinds of things. She’s starting to be really flexible. She is just an amazing little girl who can negotiate and is so confident and capable. We’ve been really, really, really blessed to have done a Son-Rise Program with Emma. We’re in the end stages of that, we expect that within about a year she’ll be done with The Son-Rise Program and she will lose her autism diagnosis.”

“Before the Autism Treatment Center of America®, I was frustrated beyond belief. Everyone would offer a speedy diagnosis along with a grim prognosis but NO HELP! No information on how to help my child and being told it was out of our hands. The Son-Rise Program® was like a road back home. I know my child better than any professional—The Son-Rise Program let me use my power to reach my son and be awed by him. He’s already doing things 6 months into the program that were deemed impossible.”

“I, for the first time, think that having a special child is a joy and not a tragedy, and that we can move mountains through love and acceptance. My son and I are on a wonderful journey together and I hope it never ends.”

“The Son-Rise Program® has helped me connect with my stepson in a way that I didn’t think was possible in only a few months time. Now, a year later, we are a family instead of me being an extra shadow in the room. By using the Son-Rise principles, he is growing and getting more and more social abilities every week. And by using the Son-Rise principles, I am myself growing towards being the best parent I can imagine for both my children.”

“If The Son-Rise Program® has come to you or if you have found the program      – that is because it is meant for you. Don’t hesitate – what you have found is a perfect place with people who are in love with helping you and helping your child. The staff and the parents who come to the Autism Treatment Center of America® take an incredible journey together that is safe, non-judgmental and have support for when you go home so that you get as much support as you need.”

“The Son-Rise Program® is not just a therapy, it is also a lifestyle. This teaches you that your life, your child is not a disaster. It shows you how to embrace and love more freely. This loving, accepting attitude breaks down the walls of autism. It helps your child grow to love interaction with people, rather than just cold learning.”
     – Gordon Smith, Printer, Australia Child’s Name: Neri Age: 10 Diagnosis: Autism

“The Son-Rise Program® has allowed me to look into myself and uncover the true me. I know that when I find my own voice that my son will find his. The Son-Rise Program is teaching me how to find my own voice!”

“Imagine life without any hope, with nothing to look forward to but silence and loneliness. That was what our beautiful daughter had before we heard of The Son-Rise Program®. Now she has love, happiness and expectations, which were unimaginable to us. Thank you all.”

“The Son-Rise Program® gives the parents of an autistic child the attitude and the skills to help them realize their child’s true potential. If you feel you can reach the stars, you can achieve miracles!”

“After offering our son to the normal school programs and processes, with little or no improvements, we dove into The Son-Rise Program®. Within months, our son was improving in all areas; speech, social skills, flexibility, smile and loving his family. The Son-Rise Program is the answer to inviting a child who is autistic into our world. It works. The program empowers, strengthens, and gives more hope and positive results and support through other parents and staff than any program on the planet. Son-Rise is the answer and gift for parents and child.”
