A powerful, effective and totally unique treatment for children and adults challenged by Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Asperger's Syndrome , and other developmental difficulties.
The Kites-CDC Program is different than - even opposite to - almost everything you've been told to do to help your child. Most schools and therapists, too, are operating on a deep misconception about what autism is and what works to treat it.
Under the able guidance of Dr.Samraj Johnson Gaddam with over 20 years of experience working with more than 25,000 parents, children, and professionals from over 5 different countries, we understand that autism is, at its core, a social relational disorder. Fundamentally, our children, regardless of whether they are not yet verbal or have Asperger's Syndrome, have difficulty connecting to, relating to, and communicating with others. Sure, our children may have behaviors that look different, but these are symptoms, not causes, and trying to stamp them out is not the answer.
We do not put limits on the possibilities.
We can help you to bring your child as far across the bridge from Autism to recovery as possible. For some, this means complete recovery. For others, this means improvements in their child's development, human connection, communication, skill acquisition and quality of life far beyond what most would have ever predicted
We can provide help for Autism and teach you to:
• Establish a warm, interactive rapport with your child.
• Implement effective educational techniques.
• Enable your child to move beyond repetitive “stimming” behaviors.
• Move through challenging behaviors (such as tantrums or hitting).
• Become a confident teacher and advocate for your child.
• Motivate your child to learn–and to enjoy learning.
• Optimize your child's learning environment.
• Jump-start speech and language development.
• Relax and have fun–without giving up what you want for yourself and your child.
• Recruit and train a team of volunteers and helpers.
• Find a sense of peace and comfort with your child's present challenges.
• Create and sustain an attitude of hope and optimism about your child's future.
To accomplish this, Kites-CDC will relentlessly pursue strategies that make significant progress toward the following outcomes over the next 10 years:
• A better understanding of the causes and typology of ASD
• Children with an autism spectrum disorder being diagnosed before the age of 2
• Children having access to appropriate intervention, services and resources immediately following diagnosis
• The availability of better treatments both for underlying pathology as well as co-existing conditions that decrease quality of life for those with autism
• People with ASD and their families have transition plans that result in more independent adult life that is meaningful to the individual
• Individuals with ASD will have effective interventions, services and supports throughout their lifetime
