    We are contemplating a move to Alberta because supposedly Loovaas is paid for at the pre-school level. Has anyone heard the process to apply for these funded programs in Alberta. We are worried that we will move there, only to find out we are put on a waiting list for a program.
    Also, has anyone heard of any good consultants that are currently accepting newly diagnosed kids. We phoned a couple of supposedly good consultants, but after 5 phone calls in 3 weeks, no one has called us back. Any information would be aprreciated. Thanks.

    As of the parent group meeting on Wed., my
    husband and I have decided to "Just Do It"
    and we've started calling consultants on the
    FEAT list to start up a program.
    We are a little confused, however, because we
    have recieved 2 faxes from the Laurel Group
    (of course not on the FEAT list but someone
    had put them in touch with us)
    about 2 different programs, both stating that
    they use the LOVAAS method. The one fax
    compared themselves to LIFE (which is on the
    consultant list) and to Project PACE (I haven't
    heard of them) One of the programs is called
    the Me 2 program. Has anyone heard of it??
    Is it possible that they have hired "real"
    consultants from the States?
    I'd appreciate any feedback!
    Thanks, Shanan Rice

    Hi all,

    Since I posted the recipe idea, I found out that
    you actually have to visit the board to get the
    file. so what you have to do is to go to
    https://www.featbc.org and then visit the chat from
    there, then you can download the file. I
    welcome all comments and look forward to
    posting it on the website, and making it
    available. The only thing that I like to ask is
    that everyone respond as promptly as
    possible, so that i can incorporate all the info
    and post it.

    Thanx

    Dave

    Hi all,

    I have been working on this little recipe for
    how to setup a home program. just the
    different steps. and the lingo that we use in
    programs, like senior therapist, consultant,
    case manager, I have tried to define the terms
    and also give a general shape of what a day
    looks like. Could you all have a look at the file,
    and see what i might have missed and also
    stuff a new parent would like to know, and
    add to it. The object is to get a reasonably
    condensed version of a home program setup,
    get it translated in to a number of languges as
    well and see how we make out with it click on
    the attachment it is a MS Word file so most of
    you should be able to read it
