Here is what you pay for this experience:

Credentials

There are no formal, internationally validated registered qualifications for people using this intervention, since any parent or carer can choose to do so.

However, the Autism Treatment Center of America does provide a variety of training courses for the staff who lead the parent courses.

Availability

The Son-Rise™ programme is available to anyone anywhere, although the Autism Treatment Center of America recommends that parents should receive training first. This training is available in the US, Europe and elsewhere.
