Letting the child with autism initiate and lead interaction by respecting and joining in their stim or "ism". It is an amazing way to bond with your child in their world so that you can then build a bridge for them to cross into yours. It gives you the tools to improve your attitude. Then you may better help your child to learn and grow and have happy, healthy relationships.

Thanks to Sonrise (Autism Treatment Center of America) my son is recovered from autism just like…read morethe founders' son Raun. He now has friends and even a girl friend, and the director at his school says he is the most mature, kind, and compassionate 14 year old boy she has ever known. We spent 5 years on biomed and saw some improvement, but the great improvement happened when we started Sonrise. Now after 3 1/2 years of Sonrise we have met our goals. You can call and talk with their program advisors at any time. They are extremely helpful.

We are so thrilled that we found Forman. It has certainly been a game changer for my son. He came…read morein as a rising Junior full of self doubt about his future and capabilities, and will graduate in a few months as a Senior who has been accepted by an excellent selection of quality colleges. He "found" his learning style with the help of the caring, talented educators at Forman. This DID NOT happen at his large public (highly rated) high school. Socially, he "found" his voice and "his people". If you have a child who struggles due to learning differences, please give Forman a look. They KNOW what they're doing, and do it well.

Last year our daughter came to us stating that there was no way she was going to be able to go to…read morecollege and that she doubted that she would graduate from High School. She is smart, a hard worker but was so discouraged because her learning differences didn't allow her to progress in the environment she was in and her self esteem just crashed. We visited many school and found that Forman seemed to offer the most to give her the help and support she needed. After almost a year there (her junior) it is a completely different world for her. She is not only excited about finding the "right " college but talks about graduate school. The staff and teachers at Forman are not only dedicated and caring - but determined to guide each student to their potential. My only wish is that we had found Forman School her freshman year but are profoundly grateful for the time she does have there. It's a life changer!!

This place has proven its staff to be extremely incompetent and even potentially dangerous. They do…read morenot folllw IEP's properly and they do not board the students correctly either. Half way through a school year and they hadnt even begun to teach any organizational skills to the point where I dont even know what theyre even doing there. They are unable to manage even the most basic level of safety for the students. One would think for the amount of money necessary to send a child there far from home, they would have a principle and administration that was competent and vet employees who are adept at actually teaching something, maintain safety, and group the kids in their dorms age and grade appropriately not to mention when a parent needs to speak to them they would speak, act and react professionally. This school has failed on all possible fronts in a very disgustingly major way.

Choosing Maplebrook School was, without question, one of the best. -Maplebrook has helped our son become the very best version of himself--academically capable, socially connected, independent, and genuinely confident. We are profoundly grateful for the dedicated staff who believe in him and support him every single day. -From the moment he arrived, we knew this was more than a school. It is a community that understands how each student learns, grows, and thrives. -Academically, the small class sizes and individualized instruction have made all the difference. Teachers meet him exactly where he is, challenge him thoughtfully, and celebrate every success along the way. For the first time, he feels proud of his accomplishments. His confidence in the classroom has soared, and he now sees himself as capable. -Independence has flourished through boarding life. The structured yet nurturing residential environment has strengthened his executive functioning and communication skills. He manages his time, stays organized, advocates for himself, and takes responsibility for his daily routines. Watching him grow into a self-assured, capable young man has been incredibly rewarding. Just as important, the residential staff are deeply integrated into the school community--they are mentors and educators, not simply supervisors. -Socially, our once-lonely son has found his people. He has built meaningful friendships with peers who understand and support one another. His relationships have deepened his empathy, strengthened his communication skills, and brought more joy into his life than we ever imagined possible. -Athletics have been another transformative part of his experience. At his previous school, team sports were not accessible to him. At Maplebrook, he has embraced the opportunity to compete and belong. Participating in team sports has improved his physical health while fostering teamwork, discipline, resilience, and leadership. Being part of a team has given him a sense of pride and belonging that carries into every area of his life. -Choosing Maplebrook was an act of faith during a difficult time. Today, we see a young man who feels capable, connected, and confident about his future--and that is a gift beyond measure.
