The Kaufmans' approach, which in many ways is similar to Dr. Stanley Greenspan's approach—includes joining children in their world to help them form relationships with people—has recovered as a neurotypical person with a near genius IQ. Presently, Bears and Samahria are the presidents of the Autism Treatment Center of America, located at the Option Institute in Massachusetts. Raun Kaufman is the CEO, Bryn Kaufman-Hogan is the executive director, and her husband William Hogan is the director of programs. The Autism Treatment Center of America's official website has done a study with 280 parents and calculated the improvement in their child's symptoms after receiving the Kaufmans' treatment program: 92% increased in the child's eye contact and language; and 90% increased in the child's attention span. Their is a spectrum of early intervention programs for autism, with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), a behavioral treatment used to shape positive reinforcement—the most scientifically proven treatment and is the most frequently used worldwide—on one side of the spectrum; and Floortime, P.L.A.Y Project, and Son-Rise on the other end.
