Members shared their experiences with the Son-Rise program for autism, with one family reporting remarkable progress over three years, noting their son is now considered off the spectrum and thriving in first grade. Several members discussed program logistics, clarifying that parents attend the initial training alone while the intensive week-long program includes the whole family and offers one-on-one staff support, though cost was acknowledged as a significant barrier. A recurring theme was the transformative potential of the program's parent-centered approach, which focuses on changing how caregivers interact with their children, with families expressing hope and eagerly seeking advice from those who have seen success.

Hi Angels, sorry. I haven't been on in a while. To answer your question, Riley is now considered off the spectrum. He just started first grade yesterday, and he's doing great. He's by all accounts recovered and doing fantastic. Let me know if you'd like some tips :)

Sorry I didn't get the info.. I haven't been able to find it. Just a note that it is very expensive for the first conference. But I hear it does work... more behavior for the parent and changing the way you think and do around your child.

The parents do go alone, it's mainly a training session. They've also got an 'intensive' where you go for a week with your whole family and receive one on one help with all of the son rise staff. If anyone wants to go, you can use @rachelkremen 's name as a referral and you'll save some money.

Hi, we're doing son-rise with our boy riley. He's 3 years old and in the time that we've been doing it, we've seen amazing results. @RachelKremen (my wife) is heading back to the institute for the intensive next week. It's been incredible and honestly has given us our boy back. I recommend the program highly to anyone...
