Hello,

I am currently looking for summer work as a behavioral interventionst or as a community support worker and am flexible and open to any shifts that you would have available.

My experiences working with with children and youth with autism has given me the ability to adapt to a variety of different work and educational environments while meeting the parents and needs of the client. Past families I have worked with have told me that my hard working and friendly personality make me a easy person to work with. Also I have training in Applied Behaviour Analysis and have used this training with my past clients.

I can be reached at katrina_e31@yahoo.ca

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kate

NEED HELP!. Hi there!. My son is 14 year old with mild autism. He got diagnosed when he was 9 year old. We been doing therapy for him for 3.5 years , but then ,my consultant is not available any more ( Lisa Wincz was our son ' s consultant ). When we did the therapy before, we just worked on his social skill and academic only, not on behavior , because, at the time, his behavior was not an issue, eventhoght, he is always a stubborn kid ). We haven't been done therapy for 1,5 years beside tutoring and a little playing sport . He ' been doing good at the school, and managed ok at home. I mean, his attitue is ok and he does his chore. But start beginning of this school year, his behavior is getting very bad. I just moved to a new place for almost 1,5 years. He has to take the bus to school . He hang out with one of the kid in our neighbor. This kid is not s good kid. He swears alot. I tried to explain to my son , but the more I said, the more he hang out. He start to swears at me, hit his brother ( my younger son has autism as well and he is so scared of his brother). He got angry very easy, when he angry , he tend to be aggressive. Now, he doesn't want to listen any more. He would go out without letting me know where he is. Every night , we have to fight to get him to bed , otherwise, he keep watching tv or play computer. If I take all the electronic away for grouded, he got really mad and he willswears at me and become aggressive. And he will go out more . Every morning, we have to drag him out of bed for the school. He doesn' t want to eat either. Some time, he doesn't eat breakfast, and not even bother of eating lunch either. I ' been attend parenting group for teen, try a diigirent way, and it seem nothing work , some time , the sittuation is out of my hand, no matter, how much I tried. I feel hopeless. I feel failed. I am dread,worry for my son' future. Is this all this atitude and behavior is just because he is teenager like some of the other typical teenagers states?,or is this is a beginner of the worse?.One of the parent that I know, they have to give up their kid for the social government , because, they couldn't handle their teenager daughter any more. I really don't want to make this decision , but some time for my younger son safety, I feel I may have to. I am stuck. I talked to his school. They said he is doing ok at school, but not open up about his behavior at home. He did not open up with me either. I wonder , if any of you have exprience on similar situation? , or know any consultant is good with the teenager ?. Any feed back is great appreciated. Thank you in advance!.
