My Nonprofit Reviews

The Son Rise Program has helped us to deal with our 18 years old autistic daughter who at that moment, even she was prescribed with Risperdal, was very self injured, had tantrums, cried every day and night and the worst of all, she couldn't sleep at night. After 4 years working with this program she barely cries or has tantrums, on the contrary, her understanding of language and following instruction had increased enormously, words and sometimes 3 words sentences come out easily, her flexibility has grown incredibly, can sleep much better and above all, her connection-relashionship with us and the volunteers who are helping us in this journey has became more friendly and spontaneous. Not to mention that as her mother, I am also in my journey of personal growth. Each adult program I've taken at the Institute has helped me to understand better myself, and in doing that I founded myself always in the position to decide what I wanted for my life. The programs present always tools we can use in order to make changes easier and with confidence. I believe this journey will never end and if there is one thing I can say with confidence is, that at this moment I am much happier in all the areas of my life than when I started to do this program for my daughter. For me and my family the Option Institute is heaven in the earth.
