Child: Marie

Age: 10

Diagnosis: Autism/disphasia

Country/town: Czech republic, Prague

Thanks to Linda´s help, our daughter started to understand the meaning of verbal communication.  Her outreach helped us become more creative, energetic and enthusiastic.

It was fascinating to watch Linda play with our daughter. Linda was a complete stranger to Marie but immediately developed steady eye contact with her . Linda was really fun to watch.!! We found a new way of working with Marie.  After Linda left, our daughter started to ask about her and wanted to play with her again :).

Child: Tobias,

Age: 5 

Diagnosis: Autism

Country: Czech republic, Brno

Linda was the first to encourage us to start our Son-rise program for Tobias.

Linda has been visiting us regularly ever since we created our playroom.

Her outreaches are a great source of inspiration and encouragement for us. Linda used 3e´s in every moment. She kept helping Tobias with eye contact, speaking and was fun to play with at the same time. Watching Linda playing with our son and then discussing her session is a great help for us as well as our volunteers.

Linda´s help was fundamental to our work with Johan. It was great to see her apply the Son-rise principles to our son. She helped us choose priorities to work on. She was so enthusiastic, creative and loving.

It had a great impact on us and our volunteers. We feel a new wave of energy now.
