Autism Treatment Center of America

The Son-Rise Program Principles:
• Each child’s/adult’s potential is limitless.
• Autism is not a behavioral disorder; it is a relational, interactional disorder.
• Motivation, not repetition, holds the key to all learning.
• "Stimming," repetitive behaviors, have important meaning and value to the child.
• The parent is the child's best resource.
• Every child/adult can progress in the right environment. There is no such thing as false hope.
