Raun Kaufman, CEO & Founder, Autism Treatment Center of America, talks about his recent book, Autism Breakthrough: The Groundbreaking Method That Has Helped Families All Over the World. The book is a terrific guide for parents and educators who want to establish better connections with autistic children. Raun gives several “opposite-points”, or approaches that go against standard methods.
1) Join in autistic repetitious behaviors with autistic child
2) Utilize each child’s unique motivations and interests as a key to learning
3) Socialization goals before academic goals
4) Parents should show positive attitude and positive emotions towards their autistic child
