My name is Gerard Traub. I am 51 years old.
I wanted to make a valuable contribution in assisting Evie upon her journey of learning and discovery and to encourage Evie to explore her greater potential. I wanted to make a difference in a young child’s life, and participating in her ‘Son-Rise Program' offers fun and productive ways to inspire both Evie and myself to learn and grow together.
Evie and her Program helped me understand more deeply that fun, excitement and being present in the moment is fundamental to gaining the most from life, and is vital for one’s health, happiness and wellbeing.
Through embracing the principles of the Program, I believe that I am able to assist Evie by offering my willingness, enthusiasm and curiosity to create a bridge between us in order to reach out and explore her world.
Expressing the values of friendship, respect and trust, and through joyful interaction, I can encourage her to cross this same bridge into our world. This enables Evie to communicate more effectively enhancing the quality and duration of her interactions with others bringing greater success in areas that are challenging for her – such as extended eye contact, verbal and non-verbal communication and interactive attention span.
Being a part of Evie’s program, I have become more aware that ‘every moment’ allows both of us an opportunity to learn and grow.
I recall a special moment when Evie, meeting me for the very first time, came up and took my hand and wanted me to play with her. My heart was touched by her immediate display of trust and friendship.
Autism offers us the opportunity to see and explore the world through another’s eyes – to see another perspective, to challenge and extend our hearts and minds, and to experience and understand another way of being.
