My name is George-Ann and I am a mom interested in working with autistic children. I do not have direct experience working with autistic children but have experience with my daughter who has anxiety disorder. I have written a children's book and have a blog at http://www.anxietyandschool.org. In order to help my daughter, I have taken direct from several psychologists and have been trained in several behavioral techniques such as CBT – Cognitive Behavioral Technique. I understand taking baby steps and pushing forward at a speed that would be right for your child. I feel that I could be easily trained for ABA and bring to the table commitment and dedication to your child as well as a caring compassionate disposition.

You can reach me at 604-507-4920 – or my cell at 778-855-4425. You may also email me at anxietyandschool@gmail.com

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LAST MINUTE REGISTRATION OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ABLE Developmental Clinic INC
Present a course in:

SAFE MANAGEMENT of DISRUPTIVE AND ASSAULTIVE BEHAVIOR

A Practical Program for Parents and tutors focusing on the Safe Management of Disruptive and Assaultive Behavior. This program is designed for professionals and staff who deal with assaultive and / or crisis situations on a regular basis.

It teaches prevention, de-escalation as well as non-violent physical intervention. In this instance, it is being offered for Parents and tutors of students with strong behavior excesses (self injury and aggression) who are associated with FEATBC and ABLE Developmental Clinic.

Although the nature of the course is not ABA it is being presented for its value in principles related to non-violent physical intervention and the management of crisis situations. Parents and tutors of students with ASD are often placed in crisis situations as a result of the student’s diagnoses. This program is not a behavior program or behavior reduction intervention, but rather a training process for those instances when students are in crisis, safety is compromised (theirs and/or yours) and safe physical intervention is required.

Individuals who attend and successfully complete this course will be receiving acknowledgement from the Crisis Prevention Institute for their completion.

The course will cover the following areas:
1. Crisis Development (Theory)
2. Non-Verbal Behavior (Theory)
3. Paraverbal Communication (Theory)
4. Verbal Intervention (Theory)
5. Precipitating Factors, Rational Detachment, and Integrated Experiences (Theory)
6. Staff Fear and Anxiety(Theory)
7. PERSONAL safety techniques (Practical Application and Training)
8. Non Violent Physical Crisis Intervention (Practical Application and Training)

This course is being presented by Nate Searle, who is not only a qualified behaviour analyst, but also a Certified Non Violent Physical Crisis Intervention Instructor and an associate with ABLE Developmental Clinic.
