Parents and Professionals Express Gratitude
Thanks to Jonathan’s dedication, direction and love, we were able to accept and love our child unconditionally and were able to find the beauty in his uniqueness. This journey has not been without its ups and downs but through hundreds of playroom hours, training, and supportive dialogue, we thank Jonathan for keeping the “cup half full” throughout. We have watched our special child become completely toilet trained, sleep through the night, learn to read, ride a bike, play on a soccer team with his peers, use his imagination like no other child I have ever seen, and carry on meaningful conversations. The best was the first time Michael came up to me, kissed me spontaneously, and said “that’s for love mommy”! This was the greatest day of my life. Even if none of this would have happened, we were secure in the fact that we had dropped our judgments, chose happiness, and accepted our son just as he was. Thanks Jonathan, you are truly an angel.
Lois V. – Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Daughter: 6 years old, Diagnosis: AutismI’m so thankful for the program we have chosen for Kisha. With IMTI, she has learned to express her true self. She expresses what she feels, not what is scripted for her. She loves the people in her life because we have all chosen to make our relationship with her a priority over teaching her rote skills. I am so grateful to Jonathan for creating a program that is truly healing.
Nancy B. – Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Son: 4 years old, Diagnosis: Autism.As always, thanks for the wonderful training day yesterday!!!! What a rewarding program! The fact that he is doing so well brings tears to my eyes. When you left yesterday, Liam went to the front window, waved and said, “Bye Bye Jonathan”. He’s paying attention to socialization for the first time.
Laura G. – Ontario, Canada. IMTI Senior Therapist.I feel like in three months of IMTI Senior Therapist training I have grown more as a person than ever before. I’ve developed new ways of viewing challenging situations as well as approaching life more positively. I am very grateful for the input you have had in my life this summer and over the last few years. I know that I would be a very different person today if I had never been connected with the IMTI program. Thanks again.
Mother of 7 years old son diagnosed with autism.At the AutismOne conference held in Toronto this year I was lucky to win a 3-hour consultation with Jonathan Alderson. I want to express my deepest gratitude for this opportunity. Jonathan is a wealth of information, and his professionalism and experience in the area of autism are incredible. In just 20 minutes of observation he was able to see challenges and accomplishments my son has that no other specialist has been able to identify. He was able to answer questions no other specialist could answer before. His recommendations were so helpful and relevant. Autism is a complex disorder that needs a multi-dimensional
Treatment and Jonathan is able to provide this. I think that his multi- treatment approach is the answer to many payers of parents of children with autism. Families need to know about a specialist like Jonathan as soon as their child is diagnosed. It would save them so many tears, frustration and, most importantly, valuable time.
Parent of son with autism, Ontario, Canada. Immediately, the positive attitude and focus on relationship building concepts offered us opportunities for our child that no other program did. Since beginning our journey with IMTI, we are very blessed to have a child who now speaks, is beginning to talk in sentences, plays board games, shows affection with lots of hugs and kisses and is taking piano lessons and loving every minute of it! Grace K-S, Alberta, Canada. Daughter 14 years old, Diagnosis: Autism.In a nut shell, Jonathan is a genius. His capacity of knowledge in the field of autism is immense. More importantly however, is his ability to share his knowledge in easily digestible points. I have learned an enormous amount in the past two years working with him and have seen remarkable changes in my recovering autistic daughter. If you embark on a journey with Jonathan and execute his ideas you will undoubtedly experience success for yourself and your child.
