Caudwell Charity and Scholarship Information


Autism Help UK The Caudwell Children Charity is graciously offering up to 80% funding for eligible applicants.


Autism Support In January 2005 the Caudwell Children Charity partnered with The Son-Rise Program, in a bid to make the home based programme more accessible to families from all over the UK. They teamed up with the Autism Treatment Center of America for The Son-Rise Program Start-Up course in London.


Due to the huge response they received to their offer to fund the cost of the course, the number of places available had to be doubled, which allowed them to help nearly 300 families (at the time) touched by Autism.


Their support for these families didn't stop there – they have also been funding the next stage of the programme (the advanced courses) – The Son-Rise Program Maximum Impact and The Son-Rise Program New Frontiers. Since the beginning of this partnership the Caudwell Children Charity has offered funding to help more than 1000 UK families.


About The Son-Rise Program®in the United Kingdom

CEO of The Son-Rise Program - Alternative Autism Strategies The Son-Rise Program is a powerful and effective treatment for children and adults challenged by Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Asperger's Syndrome, and other developmental difficulties.


We have been offering Son-Rise Program training courses in the United Kingdom since 1998. Thousands of parents from throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and from across the globe have used this program to help their children (from toddlers, to teens, to adults). Of very special interest to UK residents is the generous funding available through Caudwell Children which provides up to 80% funding to those who qualify (see below)


Autism Help UK The Son-Rise Program was created by authors and teachers Barry "Bears" Neil Kaufman and Samahria Lyte Kaufman when their son, Raun, was diagnosed as severely and incurably autistic. The Kaufman’s unique program, which marked a departure from existing methods of treatment, transformed Raun from a mute, withdrawn child with an IQ of less than 30 into a highly verbal, socially-interactive youngster with a near-genius IQ. He went on to graduate from an ivy-league university, bearing no trace of his former condition. Raun Kaufman now acts as the current CEO of Autism Treatment Center of America. He offers exceptional, breakthrough strategies for overcoming the emotional and physical expressions of autism.

Anthony Got All His Language Back

Poppy felt helpless and sad when Anthony started showing symptoms of autism – she didn’t know what to do and felt as if she had failed him. Poppy heard about The Son Rise Program through a friend who offered her the opportunity to join into Anthony’s world and love him unconditionally – an opportunity for autism recovery. She attended an autism training course called The Son Rise Program Start Up. Just 3 days after she returned home, her son’s eye contact and speech increased dramatically. Four days later, Anthony was able to tell Poppy that he loved her.

"Mommy, I love you"

At 2 years old Lucas was diagnosed as severely Autistic. He showed symptoms of autism such as no eye contact and limited speech. His parents, Adam and Luzmary felt like their son’s progress was a dead end. With no connection at all with their son they felt like they were raising a robot.

Adam and Luzmary found The Son-Rise Program – a potential cure for autism and an alternative autism treatment program to the behavioral methods they had used before - to be simple and easy to use compared to other treatment for autism they had previously tried. The Son-Rise Program has helped Lucas to understand his feelings better. He’s become truly interested in other people and is now interested in conversation with others. Lucas can appreciate the people in his life so much more since beginning his Son-Rise Program.

Son-Rise Families in the UKListen to UK parents talk about the amazing changes that their children made due to their boundless love and acceptance. They express challenges that they were having with their children before The Son-Rise Program and go on to explain how, when they received help for autism and started working with their children in The Son-Rise Program playroom, they were able to really love their child at the stage that they are at whilst still wanting more for them. They also speak about how the autism strategies provided by The Son-Rise Program have helped their children to learn and grow beyond their wildest dreams and how the Autism Treatment Center of America allowed them to hope for autism recovery.

Autism Support Webinars:

If you want your child to want to interact with you and be really motivated to learn, then take a look at this webinar where Bryn Hogan, Executive Director of the Autism Treatment Center of America, provides a brief introduction to The Son-Rise Program Start-Up. Bryn explains how coming to the three separate one-week Son-Rise Program training courses offered on our beautiful campus in the heart of the Berkshires and also in the UK can give you all the Autism resources that you need in order to be able to help your child through this loving and accepting alternative Autism treatment program.

 

Autism recovery is possible! Raun Kaufman, CEO of the Autism Treatment Center of America, introduces us to techniques and tools you can use immediately to help your child with challenges such as Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders and Asperger’s Syndrome. He explains that there is in fact a potential cure for Autism while giving positive Autism strategies in order to be able to best help your child from the starting point of truly accepting where they are right now.

 

Want to figure out if this is the best Autism solution for your child? This amazing three-part webinar compares and contrasts The Son-Rise Program with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) as potential treatments for Autism for your child. Raun Kaufman, the CEO of the Autism Treatment Center of America, talks about how The Son-Rise Program uses very different principles from those of ABA in that it does not try and get children to conform to a world that they don’t understand, but truly accepts them where they are while still wanting more for them. He explains that Autism Spectrum Disorders are not behavioral disorders, but social and interactional disorders that are usually treated with a behavioral approach.

 

Show your child that you love them and that you want to be close to them through amazing Autism strategies shared in this webinar. You will see an introduction to the new video Autism Solution: Getting Started with The Son-Rise Program. You'll meet Barry Neil Kaufman and Samahria Lyte Kaufman, the originators of The Son-Rise Program. You'll also meet Raun Kaufman, the original Son-Rise Program child, now fully recovered from Autism and CEO of the Autism Treatment Center of America who shares how Autism recovery is possible.

Videos are maintained in our video archives.
