Early intervention for children and youth with autism has been confirmed by the literature. However, few experiences on intervention programs have been published in national literature, making it difficult to identify how they are developed and the impact of these practices on child development. This study aims to presents the running of Son-Rise Program with a child with autism over twelve months, and the impact of this intervention on child development. Results showed that the program caused interferences in family routine, which caused decrease of the intensity of the intervention. Furthermore, significant advances were observed in Communication and Interaction areas more than in Use of Sight and Eye Contact. Finally we discuss the strengths and limitations noted in this process
