http://www.autismtreatmentcenter.org/ - The Autism Treatment Center of America™, founded in 1974 by Samahria Lyte Kaufman and Barry Neil Kaufman, teaches parents a unique autism treatment called The Son-Rise Program®. The Son-Rise Program is a loving, accepting, home based approach that parents use to connect with their children and help them emerge from autism and other developmental disorders. Pediatrician Wendy was in denial about her son Patrick's Autism. Using The Son-Rise Program of the Autism Treatment Center of America, Wendy and her husband Keith were able to fully recover Patrick from Autism. They ran a Son-Rise Program in their home for a year. Patrick was non-verbal and lived in his own world. Now he is fully recovered from autism.
