Review for Option Institute and Fellowship, Sheffield, MA, USA
When my son was 27 months old, he was diagnosed with autism. As soon as I heard the news, I made it my mission to do everything possible to help my son. I researched schools, therapies, diets, and every treatment out there. January 2013, I came across The Autism Treatment Center of America, the worldwide teaching center for The Son-Rise Program.The more I researched it, the more I knew this was exactly the program to fit my son's needs. In June 2013, I attended a week long Son-Rise Start-Up course in Massachusetts. THIS WAS THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE! I had finally found a way to connect with my son in a non-judgmental loving way.
As soon as I got home, I began applying all the techniques I learned. It was amazing to see my son become so much more interactive with me. My son began to point, wave bye-bye and gave make speech-like sounds within a short period of me implementing the strategies and attitude I learned at the Autism Treatment Center of America. No more does my son smear poo, need help undressing, or run off at every opportunity.
In April 2014, I attended a second course of the Son-Rise program. Again, I was able to put into practice my learnings and immediately saw results. Not only in my son, but in myself. I became a happier person.
I am so glad that this place exists and continues to bring hope to all those families who have been told otherwise!
