Kyle's Treehouse

Kyleâ¬"s Treehouse is a 501 (c) 3 organization founded by Jenifer and Jeffrey Westphal, whose son Kyle was diagnosed in 1998. During the search for a diagnosis, a friend told the Westphals about Son-rise, a home-based,rent-led, child-centered treatment option. After more than four years of this therapy, Kyle emerged from his autistic state. While going through this experience, the Westphals were frustrated by the difficulty in learning about autism. There was no clearinghouse that provided information on the pros and cons of various treatments. While they found a treatment that was a good fit for them, they realized that it wasnâ¬"t for everyone. And there are dozens of different options for families to choose from. A nearly impossible task. So they started Kyle's Treehouse. In a few short years, what was originally an informational resource has evolved into a community, where hundreds of thousands of visitors learn from each other every year
