Jordan, a young autistic boy is making huge improvements using an approach called Son-Rise. For the past 3 years Jordan's parents and volunteers have invested between 40 and 70 hours each week, spending 1-on-1 time with Jordan in "his" play room.
On 5th June, Jordan, together with his parents Jason and Kerry-Ann, and Ken, a dedicated volunteer, are heading to the USA to attend a week of advanced SonRise training. Southport Baptist Church have suppored their fundraising efforts during the last 12 months and we have just reached and exceeded our financial target.
Autism affects 1 in 166 children, up from 1 in 10,000, 15 years ago. Apart from helping Jordan, our vision is to make a documentry and set up a training and/or respite centre to help the many other parents of autistic children locally . . . More |
