Review for Option Institute and Fellowship, Sheffield, MA, USA
I am a Special Educator and have been working with children with disabilities for over 20 years. I have worked with children with autism in many different capacities and using many different treatments. I have never come across an approach so compassionate and logical. It just makes sense!! The Son-Rise Method that was taught in our training is amazing and simple. Anyone committed and invested in their relationship with the child can be successful!! You don't need a degree, you just need love and understanding. I thought all of the instructors did a great job of being welcoming, encouraging, and inspiring! I will definitely be going back to the Option Institute for another one of their amazing classes/trainings. I also liked that the participants were from all over the globe and not just the US. It was nice to meet new people and hear how different cultures experience the autism journey. One last thing that was so awesome about the Option Institute, not as significant as the training though, was the fresh and delicious food that was served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I don't think I would change too much about this organization. If anything, I feel like they need to do a better job of getting the word out. I had no idea this method existed. I could have been changing lives more effectively a long time ago.
