Son-Rise (see Option Institute) is a child-oriented therapy, which is designed to home environment, to the special playroom, always with one therapist. Unlike to behavioral therapy, which learns child to fit to our world, Son-Rise learns parents and therapists to accept child and his world, to percieve and love him as he is, with all his 'inappropriate behaviors'. Child becomes teacher and parent his pupil, by which parent goes to the child's world. To understand the child is the first step in creating the contact with him. Step by step, the long way from the safe autistic world to our world can begin.

Son-Rise is therapy based on love and acceptance of the child. These are not just words, these are fundamental basics for therapy and are visible in the practise. Energy, enthusiasm and excitement which are cricial as well, would not be possible without this attitude.
