Sue Finnes: How I unlocked my son’s thoughts, reasoning, opinions and self-expression using the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM)

Sue’s son Christopher is now 17. He has autism, is non-verbal and would be regarded as ‘low-functioning’. Sue  talks passionately  about her journey to help Chris to show his intelligence and how he has now inspired her to help others – see www.unlockingvoices.com

Treating Autism is a Journey – One Family Story

Mark, a father of two boys on the autism spectrum, will share his family’s experiences of how nutritional support and the Son-Rise programme helped Johnny and Paddy to lead a fun and fulfilling life, and enabled a reduction in their disabling autism-related symptoms. You will get to hear what helped the boys and what didn’t; how best to learn from other parents’ experience and knowledge; and how other parents were crucial in supporting the parents both emotionally and practically on this family’s journey.

There will tea and coffee with snacks throughout the day. During the last hour we will offer lunch (included in the price, free to members) and there will be an opportunity for chatting informally to our TA team and other parents.
