Help Create a Miracle for Our Son

[Guest guest]

My name is Wachendorfer. My wife, Alba, and I are the proud

parents of ph. He is a sweet, happy 3 1/2 year old boy that was

diagnosed with autism last year. My wife and I have recently returned

from a class at the Option Institute in Sheffield, MA. There we

learned how to begin our son on a journey called the Son-Rise

Program. This program is a child centered, nonjudgemental approach to

engage and motivate our son to reach his full potential. The core of

the program is working with ph in a specially designed playroom

that we have built in our home.

Why I am writing you is because we are looking for several volunteers

to help work with our son in his playroom. The most important

qualifications are energy, excitement, and enthusiasm. The volunteer

will spend 2 hours, once or twice a week, in the room " playing " . The

more theatrical and over the top, the better. Autistic children are

born with no ability to socially interact. This program teaches

social interaction by making the volunteer the most interesting, user

friendly thing in the room.

We will provide training and ongoing feedback. I think that this

would be an excellent opportunity for you. Not only would you be able

to hone your skills, but you would also be helping to enrich the

life of a very special boy.

Please feel free to write back or call us at 678-513-0975. We live in

Cumming. Thank you for your consideration.
