As a boy, Raun Kaufman was diagnosed by multiple experts as
severely autistic, with an IQ below 30, and destined to
spend his life in an institution. Years later, Raun
graduated with a degree in Biomedical Ethics from Brown
University and has become a passionate and articulate autism
expert and educator with no trace of his former condition. So what happened? Thanks to The Son-Rise Program, a revolutionary method
created by his parents, Raun experienced a full recovery
from autism. (His story was recounted in the best-selling
book Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues and in the
award-winning NBC television movie Son-Rise: A Miracle of
Love.) In Autism Breakthrough, Raun presents the
ground-breaking principles behind the program that helped
him and thousands of other families with special children.
Autism, he explains, is frequently misunderstood as a
behavioral disorder when, in fact, it is a social relational
disorder. Raun explains what it feels like to be autistic
and shows how and why The Son-Rise Program works. A step-by-step guide with clear, practical strategies that
readers can apply immediately—in some cases, parents see
changes in their children in as little as one day—Autism
Breakthrough makes it possible for these special children to
defy their original often-very-limited prognoses. Parents
and educators learn how to enable their children to create
meaningful, caring relationships, vastly expand their
communications, and to participate successfully in the world. An important work of hope, science, and progress, Autism
Breakthrough presents the powerful ideas and practical
applications that have already changed the lives of families
all over the world.
