This book is a step-by-step guide towards developing communication using RPM. Communication is an essential part of life and individuals with autism should not be left behind despite that their stimulations and motor skills may not respond in the same way as "typical "individuals. Success comes with practice and utilizing the steps of communication in this book will help teachers, students and parents. Using Soma's methods my son, Christopher, has not only been able to show how academically intelligent he is but he can now communicate his deeper thoughts and feelings in a way which means that others believe they are HIS words. -Sue Finnes-Mum to Christopher aged 14, Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom. Our son Lenny was nearly 40 when he met Soma. He has a great deal of trouble initiating language. For the first time, he was able to ask a question and also reveal to us how much he understood about his own life as well as the world around him. -Isabel and Larry Schwartz

Imagine living in a body where your coordination fails to execute a specific mental command: Let's say your mind wants your hands to execute a function like holding a pencil to write a word, but all the motor coordination allows you to do is simply make a pencil mark. Imagine, if you can, wanting to be functionally independent and yet the body movements you make are beyond your mind's control. - Such is a state that can make living least enjoyable. Just as it is important for the mind to be stimulated through academics and communication, it is important for the body to continue learning skills so that "Mind and Body" find a way to unify. A plateau in cognition can make one feel stagnant. So why wouldn't a plateau in developing skills make one feel "stuck"? Communication skills on a letter-board or a key-board is essentially the same motor skill - Pointing. Growing one's skill beyond pointing is an essential goal of RPM. Otherwise, a 'Skill-plateau' may lead to further frustration if the mind is unable to direct the body to manipulate its environment. The external world, including one's own body, is a three dimensional space. To manipulate it one has to overcome selective activities (stims or OCDs). So there needs to be step-by-step lesson plan on how to achieve each goal. This book is an earnest effort in "how" to plan the first skill goals that go beyond pointing skills. It goes a step further to experience the world through the principles of Rapid Prompting Method.

When I met Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India on the 26th of March 2015, my enthusiasm for music was at its lowest ebb. During our conversation, Modiji was intrigued by my dream project, 'Sangeet Gram', an academy in the memory of Ustad Bismillah Khan. But, I was surprised to find that he shared this dream with me, having himself built a museum to preserve the endangered instruments of India. The following year arrived and I began preparations for Ustad Bismillah Khan's centennial celebrations, including the construction of Sangeet Gram. It was then that I received the honour of being inducted into the National Implementation Committee for Centenary Celebrations and my efforts now extend to holding celebration concerts in India and abroad. I had already been writing an account of Baba's life; the priceless anecdotes that he had shared and the surreal moments that we had spent together. In order to commemorate his musical genius and celebrate 100 years of his unparalleled contribution to music in this field, I deemed it fit to publish it all in book form. I hope this book provides its readers with an insight into Baba's life, and that they too celebrate his simplicity, his undying perseverance and patience with his art, the genius of his music and my musical journey, through this book-'Baba & Me'.
This book, Antariksha: Infinity Vol. 1, is the combination of three stories—ananta aloy (the space colony), abhijan (a trip to earth), and amrit (liquid of immortality). All three are science fiction—the first three part—vol. 1 of the science fiction series. The last three parts of Antariksha vol. 2—abastav (surreal), anabas (nonresidence), aparthiba (divine) are already published separately, published earlier than this vol 1 as they can be read separately. But it is better to read it as ananta aloy, abhijan, amrit, abastav, anabas, aparthiba. This is one unique fiction in world literature, pioneered in science fiction with space colony and space expedition with real science. It is the research work by the author over space science written in story format. The total research work has taken a time of fifteen years and has published in last six years. At AD 2500, the space colony boys are grown up at artificial atmosphere, communicating with earth boys to make visit to their unknown earth. The shape of earth has changed that time—one part was detached from earth by big bang at another star. And they make space expedition to one new satellite of Jupiter, where they get amrit, one rare type of liquid. In vol. 2, the boys become adults. Love has come within them. They heard one love fantasy from their storyteller friend. After repeated visits, they converged with the fantasy, and they detected and found the secret of the liquid. Then they found out that the new satellite of Jupiter is the part of earth. Everything is possible in the space of galaxies, clusters, and stars. Just imagine some of them after four hundred years.
This book was written for a group of students with autism who have speech- enough to state requests or recite dialogs but not enough to discuss a topic.Verbal autistic students may have functional speech but it may be difficult for them to extract the right word/language at the right moment required. Expressive language may lie dormant and the student may need a way to bring these thoughts to the surface. Spelling a word may be easier approach for these students than saying a word or thought aloud.Also, many verbal students may experience a "road block" towards intentional-communication beyond the previously learned functional or social speech. If the speech is rote/habit/stim, people may be deceived by their speech and believe that the student cannot think beyond those uttered words.
