    The Son-Rise Program® Developmental Model

    Introduction The Son-Rise Program® Developmental Model is goingto be incredibly helpful to you! A

    myriad of developmental models exist, but this one is a socialdevelopmental model.

    Autism, at its core, is a social-relational challenge for ourchildren. When we can see,

    track, and achieve social-relational goals, we open the door toour children truly connecting

    with people, making friends, expressing love, enjoying people,communicating what’s

    important to them, showing genuine interest in the thoughts andfeelings of others, picking

    up on social cues, sharing interests, showing affection, andparticipating successfully in the

    world.

    The Son-Rise Program® Developmental Model helps you to plot yourchild and set goals in

    Four Fundamentals of Socialization: Interactive Attention Span,Eye Contact & Non-Verbal

    Communication, Verbal Communication, and Flexibility. In each ofthese areas, you will be

    able to track your child through the five stages of development.Let’s take a look at these

    Four Fundamentals of Socialization a little more closely.

    Interactive Attention Span

    Interactive Attention Span is the Fundamental that makes all ofthe other Fundamentals

    possible. It measures how long your child can maintain aninteraction with another person

    before they disconnect, ism, or do their own thing. Ultimately,it measures the length of

    your child’s green lights! Your child’s challenges withinteracting and with maintaining a

    green light are most of what places your child on the autismspectrum. It is also the largest

    determiner of what may be holding them back in other areas. Ifthe length of your child’s

    Interactive Attention Span increases from five minutes totwenty-five minutes, for example,

    entire vistas open up to them! Because they are now engaged forlong enough to learn a

    whole host of new things, so many goals that it might haveappeared to be beyond your

    child now become achievable!

    Verbal Communication

    This Fundamental includes sounds your child is making, how manywords (if any) they’re

    using, whether they’re using multi-word phrases, and the purposeof their language. We’re

    tracking language as interactive communication rather thansimply the ability to repeat

    words on command. This way, you can enable your child tocommunicate in a satisfying

    way with the world around them!

    Eye Contact & Non-Verbal Communication

    Looking at, and truly taking in, another human being is akeystone of interpersonal

    connection. In fact, most communication is non-verbal.Discerning whether someone is

    sarcastic, joking, frustrated, or delighted depends upon bothlooking at someone’s eyes

    and face and noticing non-verbal cues. The Son-Rise Program®Developmental Model will

    enable you to track the level, purpose, and function of yourchild’s eye contact as well as

    their use of and response to non-verbal communication.

    Flexibility

    Flexibility is often the most overlooked of the FourFundamentals of Socialization. People

    often focus on getting their children to follow a rigidstructure rather than helping them to

    be flexible and at ease with transitions, changes, and thedesires of others. The main focus

    of this Fundamental is to help your child develop the ability tobe both flexible (allowing

    involvement and input from others) and spontaneous (initiatingnew ideas/directions) within

    interactive activities, whether those activities were initiatedby your child or someone else.

    Of course, any child playing a game has preferences and desiresabout how the game is

    played. We’re not looking for 100% flexibility in allinteractions, but rather an overall ability

    to easily allow a friend or family member to make minor andmajor alterations to the activity

    on a regular basis. The Son-Rise Program® Developmental Modelwill enable you to track

    your child as you help them to improve on a challenge that isoften one of the centerpieces

    of being on the autism spectrum.

    How to Plot Your Child The purpose of The Son-Rise Program®Developmental Model is to help you understand

    exactly where your child is now, so that you can be clear aboutthe next step. Like a GPS

    system we first need to know our current location before we canfind the route to our final

    destination.

    We recommend that you plot your child on the model every eightweeks.

    Take one fundamental of socialization at a time. Remember thatparents, therapists, and

    educators across the globe have plotted their children on thismodel and used it to help

    their children progress, and you can too! If you are a parent,remember that you know your

    child better than anyone else. We encourage you to trust that,as we do.

    The 12 Steps to Plotting Your Child:

    1) Print out your Developmental Model Worksheets and have themin front of you

    before you begin as this will help you to understand thefollowing instructions.

    2) Remember that even if you think your child is in Stage 2 orStage 4 in any given

    fundamental, it is important at this initial assessment to startwith Stage 1 in every

    section (this will not be necessary as you plot your child inthe future).

    3) Starting at Stage 1 will enable you to see if there are any“missed” skills in the

    earlier stages that could be gaps that are holding your childback socially. These

    missed skills are important to address as goals.

    4) Begin with Interactive Attention Span, Stage 1. Assess whereyour child is for each

    skill using the boxes provided. You will see a list of skills.For each, assess your child

    using the key below.

    5) KEY:

    a. Emerging:

    i. You will see two small squares inside this box. Check thefirst box if your child demonstrates this skill “Occasionally”. (Ifyour child demonstrated this skill once, six months ago, you wouldnot check the box at this time. Leave it blank for now).

    ii. Check the second small box if your child demonstrates thisskill “Half the

    time”. (This does not mean they must show this skill 30 minutesout of every

    hour, but rather that they demonstrate this skill about half thetime that the

    opportunity arises; i.e. they say “hello” about half the timethat they are

    greeted).

    b. Accomplished:

    i. Check this box when your child shows the ability todemonstrate this skill most of the time. (Your child does not needto show mastery of this skill all the time, if they can show thisskill most of the time, then you would check the “Accomplished” boxfor that skill).

    6) Once you have completed the above, in all stages of all fourfundamentals, you are ready to set your goals.

    a. Begin again with Interactive Attention Span.

    b. Go to the first listed skill that does NOT have the“Accomplished” box checked.

    c. NOTE: Some goal boxes will already have “Emerging” checks,and some not. Also, it’s ok if your child accomplishes the goalsout of order.

    7) When to move on to another Stage:

    a. The ✭starred✭ skills at the start of each stage must be

    “Accomplished” before you can move on to the next stage. Theyare an essential building block for success in the following stage.If these have been accomplished and there is still one non-starredskill (and only one non-starred skill) yet to be accomplished, youmay move on to the next stage while continuing to bring thisnon-starred skill forward as a goal.

    8) If you are really uncertain about a particular skill and youdon’t think that you can even make a rough estimate, put a questionmark next to it. Over the next week, observe your child to see ifthey demonstrate that skill, and then you can return to the modelto note what you have learned.

    9) Repeat this entire process for each of the fundamentals ofsocialization. You will find that your child is predominantlywithin a certain stage of development across all of thefundamentals. However, we have seen that most children have skillsthey have not accomplished in earlier stages, and skills they have“Achieved” in later stages. Such lone higher-level skills arecalled Outlier Skills. If your child has any of these, that’swonderful! If you notice one outlier skill from a previous stage,what a great opportunity to help them work on it. If you notice oneoutlier skill from a later stage, how exciting! With this in mind,you will have the most success if you stay focused on the stagethat your child is currently in.

    10) Repeat this process for each of the Four Fundamentals,beginning in Stage 1.

    11) Use it! This is your GPS system for your journey with yourchild and The Son-Rise Program. Print out all of the DevelopmentalModel Worksheets. Below we have a picture that illustrates how andin what order to place them on a wall in your home. We stronglyrecommend that you place them in view exactly as noted below. Thiswill allow you to access and stay aware of your current goals,while seeing the bigger picture of your child within the model.

    NOTE: The Developmental Model was designed to help your childgrow towards being a socially successful person. Each of the skillsnoted is an important part of the process. Some parents have becomevery excited about growth in one fundamental and then move stagesahead, while the other 3 fundamentals continue to have multipleunaccomplished goals. This can result in your child having onefundamental area of great strength, while being affected andchallenged by other missing skills. (When you display the model aswe suggest, you will easily see if this begins to occur).

    12) Take the goals that you’ve chosen, write them out on aseparate sheet of paper,

    and pin that on the wall, too! (We’ve provided a Goal Sheetbelow for you to print out

    and use for this purpose.) If you have a Son-Rise Program®playroom, it’s a good idea

    to pin the list up right outside the room. You’ll have yourchild’s goals for the next eight

    weeks laid out where everyone will see them right beforebeginning their time with your

    lovely child!
