Soma Mukhopadhyay, like so many mothers, would not accept the
conventional wisdom when her son Tito was diagnosed with severe
autism. Defying the prognosis that Tito was incapable of
accomplishing anything, Soma devised a way to teach her son to
read, write and communicate. Tito is now a published author, and
Soma has dedicated her life to teaching her revolutionary Rapid
Prompting Method to hundreds of autistic children and adults
throughout the world.
Somas work proves what many parents have suspected: that students
with autism are capable of learning at academic levels previously
thought unattainable. The power of an academic education improves
the lives of all people, and the Rapid Prompting Method is the key
to providing the gift of education and communication to students
with autism.
This groundbreaking book describes Somas innovative technique, and
for the first time in print, offers parents and educators a
step-by-step guide to implementing this life-changing teaching
methodology. It explores the science behind Somas uniquely
effective approach, and it gives how-to instructions for designing
and implementing RPM lessons with various types of learners.
Understanding Autism Through Rapid Prompting Method is a pivotal
manual for educating persons with autism; it breaks down all
barriers that have so long kept them in silent isolation.
Soma is a gifted teacher who has given my son, and countless others
with autism, a voice. Soma works with individuals who have
previously been thought to be unteachable whom educators,
therapists and physicians had all but given up on. Through her
tireless efforts, Soma is slowly changing the way society views
autism and how educators and parents approach it.
Dr. Irfan Dahar, MD and Shazia Dahar, parents of 8-year-old son
with autism
My son has what most would call severe autism. We have tried
various approaches working with some of the top professionals in
the nation. None has had the impact of Ms. Mukhopadhyay and the
Rapid Prompting Method (RPM). I have continued RPM at home and my
son has progressed through the math curriculum and is now beginning
algebra and is working at grade level or above in other
subjects.
Mary Weldon, mother of 10-year-old son with autism
