Raun K. Kaufman, Director of Global Education for the Autism Treatment Center of America, discusses the Center’s Son-Rise Program. Diagnosed with severe autism as a child, without speech or communication, Raun was the first to benefit from the program.

The Son-Rise Program® is a powerful and effective home-based treatment for children and adults of all ages challenged by Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger's Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), and other developmental difficulties. The Son-Rise Program was originated in 1974 by parents, Barry Neil Kaufman (best-selling author, Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues) and Samahria Lyte Kaufman for their son, Raun. The treatment and educational model has changed the way children with Autism are helped worldwide. The Son-Rise Program was awarded the Best Autism Therapy at the AutismOne National Conference.
