And we have many more reasons!
Because we want what you want. Rather than forcing our children to conform to a world they don't yet understand, in The Son-Rise Program®, we enter their wondrous world first. Instead of trying to stamp out repetitive behaviors, we see those behaviors as the doorway to connection. Our children show us the way in, and then we show them the way out.
Because you know your child better than anyone else. The Son-Rise Program was created by two autism parents who went against the grain and dared to dream big for their child. Despite the grim prognosis received including recommended institutionalization, they used love, understanding, and acceptance as the foundation to reach their child and so can you.
Because you want more for your child than self-help skills, learned robotic behaviors, and IEPs that underestimate your child. The Son-Rise Program shows you how to use your child’s intrinsic interests to help them learn and grow, encouraging the joyful, spontaneous connection that every parent dreams of having with their child. You’ll learn tools to inspire verbal communication, flexibility, peer friendships, and more.
Because you need personalized help with your most pressing challenges. Our seasoned Son-Rise Program Teachers will use decades of experience to help you with everything from toilet training, intense behaviors, meltdowns, bedtime, puberty, diet, and more.
Because you feel isolated. This course surrounds you with community and the connection of other parents and caregivers in a space where everyone gets it and no subject is off the table.
Because you could do with some serious stress relief. The Son-Rise Program offers you a unique opportunity to gain hands-on strategies that address and process emotions that come up for you as you walk your autism path with your child.
Because you’d enjoy a break away from it all. Located in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, USA, The Son-Rise Program In-Person Start-Up offers you a retreat away from your busy life to be able to digest and learn in an environment dedicated to your growth.

“My son Jack would spend most of his time crying, so frustrated that he couldn’t communicate his feelings. I saw changes immediately when I started The Son-Rise Program. He started to say new words, his eye contact improved immensely and he started to share an interest in the world around him. I feel with the expert training I have received, I have grown so much. My whole outlook on life has changed. I am a much stronger person than I have ever been. My one regret is that I didn’t start The Son-Rise Program sooner.”
