This landmark book in the area of Autism documents the development of the first Son-Rise Program in the very personal journey of one family who dared to defy the experts.

This book describes the attitudinal backbone of The Son-Rise Program. It offers simple, concrete and effective tools for addressing the unique, emotional challenges facing so many parents with children with special needs.

After working successfully with their own once-autistic son, Bears (Barry) and Samahria Kaufman reached out to another family who traveled to the United States from Mexico to get help for their severely-autistic and functionally retarded son.

Barry Neil Kaufman gives an electrifying and controversial university presentation. It details case studies of how parents challenged themselves and the diagnostic pessimism of professionals to work with their own children to facilitate meaningful and often unexpected changes and improvements using The Son-Rise Program. He reveals how ordinary folks, initially overwhelmed and despairing, become effective and inspired facilitators in their own children’s transformations.

Samahria (Suzi) Lyte Kaufman, who with her husband Bears (Barry Neil Kaufman) created The Son-Rise Program, shares in a Q&A session on this 3-CD series her very insightful, inspiring and nitty-gritty guidance, using the principles and methods of The Son-Rise Program, in dealing with the challenges of having a child with Autism and other difficulties. What distinguishes these CD’s is the warmth and helpful suggestions from the first Son-Rise mom who has not only been in the trenches with her own child but with many other children and their families.
