BI SEEKING CLIENTS

Hello, my name is Alexandra and I am a recent graduate of Psychology from the Univerity of Victoria. I have studied many areas of Developmental Psychology, more specifically Infant, Child and Adolescent Development. I am ready to start my career in the realm of Psychology and know that working with children and young adults is where I would like to focus my attention. Although I do not yet have experience working as an ABA Therapist, I am very eager to learn. I love working with children and I have recently worked as a nanny for a young boy.

I have a very positive, upbeat and patient personality. I am a licensed B.C. driver and operate my own vehicle. I live in Vancouver, however I am able to commute to surrounding towns as well.

Celebration of Life for Dr. Ivar Lovaas

Save the Date – September 23, 2010 7-9pm

Lovaas, a distinguished professor of psychology at UCLA, a pioneer in the research and development of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to treat children with autism, and the founder of the Lovaas Institute (http://www.lovaas.com), died on August 2nd at age 83.

Parents and professionals in BC will gather on this special evening to pay tribute to Dr Lovaas and review the history of his work and ABA as a treatment for autism.

Hear from the parents who founded FEAT of BC, brought ABA treatment into this province and continue to fight for universal access to science based treatment for all individuals who need it. Thanks to litigation by parents in the past we are able to access funding for autism services today.

Share your own story about what Lovaas and ABA has done for you and your family.

Topic: Celebration of Life for Dr. Ivar Lovaas

Guest Speakers:

Dr. Glen Davies, Director of ABLE Developmental Clinic

Dr. Sabrina Freeman, Parent and Founding Director of FEAT-BC

Jean Lewis, Parent and Founding Director of FEAT-BC
