My Nonprofit Reviews

I attended The Son-Rise Program Start-Up at USA, in April 2016 after reading an amazing book called “Autism Breakthrough” for Raun K. Kaufman, the Director of Global Education and former CEO of the Autism Treatment Center of America. He was recovered from autism by The Son-Rise Program which was established by his parents, Barry and Samahria Kaufman.

I went there with many questions and worries about my autistic daughter and returned back optimistic and free of worries. The journey changed my life and my family as well.

They taught us how to face our inner thoughts, get rid of fears and how to be optimistic and full of energy and happiness.

We met the co-founder of the program Barry and Samahria, it was an emotional moment to meet the parents who tested and lived the same story of us, who rescued their kid successfully in 1970s, Barry told us that there is no problem to be unrealistic; we are parents who know and feel what is the right for our kid. Samahria told us “we have to hug our problems and say ok!”  

We also met wonderful educators, who taught us how to understand the autistic kids, to know the appropriate time to teach them, to teach them by 3E’s (energy, excitement and enthusiasm) and how to apply the ABC.

Raun told us that the acceptance and love make us as a magnet in the social relationship. Kate told us that we have to work hard with our kids, we want to catch the moon. Kem and Becky taught us how to make our kids fall in love with human so they will love to speak.

I returned back to my family full of hope, I don’t know what is the future, we all don’t know what is the future, but we can start making our presence more fun and more beautiful.

Be happy, your kid will be happy because they feel and they are sensitive for our feelings and thoughts. Finally, it seems that our kids are reflections for our thoughts.
