Yes, yes, yes.  I can't say enough about the Son-Rise program.  We did it with

our guy when he was diagnosed at 4 and had great results too.  Lots of eye

contact and the beginning of speech within a month.  Also when we saw our

naturopath she was very interested in what we were doing because she said that

of all her patients his age, he was without a doubt the happiest and easiest

going of all.  She said she was treating most of them for anger and anxiety

issues.  We still think it was from the Son-Rise program as opposed to all the

other behavior-management programs.  Since Son-Rise is accepting of kids, they

feel accepted and therefore are not full of angst and anger. jmho

Hello!

We are a son rise family in Vancouver, Canada -- we went to Start Up in Feb this

year -- our son was just over 3 at that time. He was diagnosed with PDD-NOS 1

year ago (just shy of 2 1/2) and we began with ABA, disliked it intensely as we

saw how much he disliked it, and then moved to a DIR Floortime approach as I was

8 months pregnant with my second son, and could not go to Start Up. However, I

felt that this was THE programme for us.

3 most post start up we have a team of 8 working and playing with our son -- we

have managed to set up a 7 day per week, 6 - 8 hour per day programme. We have

volunteers that commit to 2 x 2 hr sessions per week, plus a little feedback

time after each session (this is what Son Rise teaches you) and 1 team meeting a

month.

Our son has absolutely blossomed under all this love and acceptance and our

family is much more in control and happy. I myself have 4 - 5 2 hour sessions

per week with him (2 hours each) and I absolutely love it. My husband has the

same. The remainder of the time is with our volunteers. After the playroom, he

comes out and we can be a family...

it has been a life saver and I recommend it to anyone. This is the most loving,

respectful and EFFECTIVE programme in our opinion...our son is speaking in

sentences (1 year ago he had no expressive speech, had lost it all) and is able

to tell us how he feels, and is starting to tell us about what his likes and

dislikes are. But, most importantly, we are all HAPPY...we are enjoying our life

and our son.

We are also treating him biomedically, and he is on GAPS, AC chelation and MB12

(just began transfer factor after seeing VK Singh speak locally).

He is RECOVERING FAST.

Best of luck,

Fiona (PS if you are referred to Son Rise by someone you get a discount off

tuition so let us know if you need a referral!) This is what happened to us.

> 2. Did it really bring your child out of autism?

> 3. How did you manage to stay sane under such a big deal of work? Did you

have volunteers to help you out?

> My questions might seem irrelevant to some, but I am getting to a point of no

return with other therapies and I am seriously considering implementing this

program, I am just so alone, no relatives, few friends, and don't see how l

could do it on my own...
