Autism Breakthrough by Raun K. Kaufman Pdf

As a boy, Raun 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 with a degree in Biomedical Ethics from Brown University and has become a passionate and articulate autism expert and educator with no trace of his former condition. So what happened? Thanks to The Son-Rise Program, a revolutionary method created by his parents, Raun experienced a full recovery from autism. (His story was recounted in the best-selling book Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues and in the award-winning NBC television movie Son-Rise: A Miracle of Love.) In Autism Breakthrough, Raun presents the ground-breaking principles behind the program that helped him and thousands of other families with special children. Autism, he explains, is frequently misunderstood as a behavioral disorder when, in fact, it is a social relational disorder. Raun explains what it feels like to be autistic and shows how and why The Son-Rise Program works. A step-by-step guide with clear, practical strategies that readers can apply immediately—in some cases, parents see changes in their children in as little as one day—Autism Breakthrough makes it possible for these special children to defy their original often-very-limited prognoses. Parents and educators learn how to enable their children to create meaningful, caring relationships, vastly expand their communications, and to participate successfully in the world. An important work of hope, science, and progress, Autism Breakthrough presents the powerful ideas and practical applications that have already changed the lives of families all over the world.

Not The Person I Was by Linda Clark-Borre Pdf

"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own," declared Stanley Kunitz in his poem, The Layers, "and I am not who I was " In fact, life does change with every moment, and we are always in the act of becoming. Not the Person I Was: Memoir as Tool of Recovery and Discovery discusses the importance of reflecting on the roles we assume in the ever-evolving situations that make up our everyday lives. Not the Person I Was helps readers uncover the subtle turning points of their personal histories, and shows how navigating those turns ultimately affected us, others, and the world itself. Advocating for the often overlooked value of one's personal lived experiences, it also helps writers and recorders of life histories shape their personal stories in engaging and interesting ways. "Our recorded reflections-whether published, videotaped, recorded, or simply jotted down in notes for one's own perusal-provide the basis for living and sharing stronger, wiser, more resilient lives," notes the author. "There is tremendous power - and hope- in realizing that life is a journey in a world without maps, and that we are never finished with our changes."
