Has anyone or is anyone using the Son-Rise program?
Love Son Rise!! We have not attended the conferences but I read the book, spoke for an hour with a SR specialist at their headquarters and watched all the videos. There are also plenty of You Tube videos to watch for free. I found it so encouraging after being involved in the rigid ABA therapy for two years. Son Rise was perfect for us...we did it for a year when we chose to homeschool our 4 year old son. Now he is in a transitional kindergarten class but Son Rise helped me and him in so many ways!
It combines beautifully! Every child and family needs a different package! It's just one more tool in the toolshed to help you figure it out!
I looked into it a couple of years ago. Many success stories; very, very expensive though. If one can afford, by all means, we will do whatever it takes for our loved ones on the spectrum... but for those that can't afford it, unfortunately a bit much.
I wish I could find providers where I live! I'm in Northern Virginia and haven't found anyone who does it here. But we've watched the videos and I try to do some of it and some ESDM at home.
@A MyAutismTeam Member thank you, that's so encouraging to hear. What's your thought on combining it with ABA? We do a couple hours of ABA in the morning, then the afternoon we could do Son-Rise.
