About relate to autism


relate to autism is the brainchild of Kat Houghton (an autism practitioner who has worked for over ten years with more than eight hundred children and families and is currently conducting doctoral studies at University of Lancaster, UK) and Mark Tuomenoksa (a seasoned technology entrepreneur whose resume includes inventions and patents filed with Nobel laureate Arno Penzias).

relate to autism blends dynamic, breakthrough software technology with extensive hands-on autism intervention experience to provide real and practical answers to the current lack of autism resources for parents. Online tools and services are put directly in the hands of parents so they can begin immediately helping their children at home with minimal time and costs.

At relate to autism we believe that parents are the single most effective resource available to their children. With a bit of interactive guidance and support they can deepen their relationship with their child while enhancing their development with lasting results.

relate to autism helps families of children with autism both directly and in partnership with individual practitioners and family services organizations. For parents, relate to autism offers a rich set of tools and support systems that can dramatically enhance existing autism treatment interventions or provide a complete roadmap for newly started programs. For individual practitioners and family services organizations, relate to autism’s advanced web technologies and expertise in relationship-based autism treatment empower existing practices with a full suite of online tools and complementary professional services.
