As a boy, Raun K. Kaufman was diagnosed by multiple experts as severely autistic, with an IQ below 30, and destined to spend his life in an institution.
Years later, Raun graduated from Brown University with a degree in Biomedical Ethics and has become a passionate and articulate international lecturer, author, and teacher to families with children on the autism spectrum.
So what happened?
Thanks to The Son-Rise Program®, a revolutionary method his parents created, Raun recovered fully from his autism with no trace of his former condition.
He has written articles featured in a host of journals and books and has been interviewed by media such as National Public Radio, BBC Television, Fox News Channel, and People magazine.
In Autism Breakthrough, Raun presents the innovative techniques behind the program that helped him and thousands of other children and adults.
A step-by-step guide written with humor, inspiring stories, and clear, practical strategies that readers can apply immediately, this book gives parents who have felt desperate and dismissed the tools to reach their own children. Parents and educators learn how to enable their children to create meaningful, caring relationships, vastly expand their communications, and participate successfully in the world.
Autism Breakthrough breaks all the rules and shows how joining children in their own unique worlds before asking them to join us in ours makes it possible for these special children to defy their original often-very-limited prognoses.
