Topic

[Leah Mumford]

The Autism Society of BC (ASBC) is sponsoring a six-class course about the principles of ABA and their practical application to parenting children with autism. The classes will consist of a variety of presentations, guided discussions, brief exercises, video demonstrations and question and answer times. Rather than a traditional lecture style, the classes are designed with a “round table” approach, where parents can bring questions, ideas and input in order to facilitate discussion.

The classes will take place on February 25th, March 18th, April 8th, May 13th, June 10th and July 15th, 2013. They will be held at AHP Matthew Elementary School at 13367 97A Ave in Surrey. Cost is $120 (preregistration for entire course) or drop in (space dependent) for $25 per class.

Space is limited to 30 people so please register early! Registration and course information can be found on the ASBC website at http://www.autismbc.ca/asbc-applied-behaviour-analysis-parent-support-course/ or phone the ASBC at 604.434.0880.

Parent Support Workshop – Course Outline:

Location: AHP Matthew, Library – 13367-97 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3T 1A4
Time: 6:30-9:30 pm
Dates: See course outline below.

Class Structure:

The classes will consist of a variety of presentations, guided discussions, brief exercises, video demonstrations and question and answer times. Rather than a traditional lecture style, the classes are designed with a “round table” approach, where parents can bring questions, ideas and input in order to facilitate discussion. The presenters will endeavor to provide a broad, conceptual framework for the classes, in order that parents may take the information to their own consultants and teams, in order to structure details, strategies and programs specific to their child.

Hi Melissa

I just went through that process myself it took me 1 year to get it approved, doctor did not fill out correctly so they rejected it I would get the professional who diagnosed your child to fill it out if you can. So I used dr. Glen Davies and was approved so best bet is to get a psychologist who knows your child very well. If you have any a questions please do not hesitate to email me pvanluyk@yahoo.ca
