Attention all FEAT parents and supporters!

Please see the following information and invitation from Paladin Advocacy League of PAL.

You are all invited to PAL's launch event this Saturday, May 29th. PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE…IT WILL BEGIN AT 2:30 PM as opposed to 1:00

I, along with former FEAT of BC director, and founder of Medicare for Autism Now Jean Lewis, are on the PAL board of directors.

Like FEAT of BC, PAL is a 100% volunteer advocacy organization.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Beverley

Are the following words true for you?

“Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on mental or physical disability” Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

If you are a Canadian who has been discriminated against due to a mental or physical disability, please read on….

Lack of effective public policy and political will has allowed Canadian institutions at all levels to deny Canadians with disabilities equal access to full citizenship as guaranteed in our Charter. Despite what our politicians tell us and the rest of the world, systemic discrimination is an everyday reality in Canada for most of us living with a disability.

The way to right this wrong is through real advocacy, political will and law.

The Paladin Advocacy League (PAL) is a recently formed not-for-profit society which advocates for public policy changes which will provide Canadians with disabilities equal access to the equality provisions of our Charter….actions speak louder than words.

We intend to put our founding principles into action by:

1. Advocating for public policy changes which will enforce the equality provisions of the Charter of Rights (Section 15) creating practical force and effect for all British Columbians with a disability.
2. Advocating for portable, consumer-driven individualized funding for British Columbians with disabilities.
3. Advocating for government-funded legal counsel for test cases.

Canadians with disabilities are also Canadian citizens with the responsibility to vote and make clear to our politicians and bureaucrats that it is nothing more than reasonable to expect equal rights in Canada in the 21st century!

We want to meet with you to talk, listen, discuss, plan, laugh…and, of course, eat cookies! Coffee will also be served.

Please join the Board of PAL on:

Saturday, May 29th
1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Collingwood Neighbourhood House,
Program Room, 2nd. Floor,
5288 Joyce St., Vancouver
(two blocks south of the Joyce Sky Train station)

Everyone is welcome, particularly Canadians with disabilities, their families and supporters.

Sincerely,

Paul Caune

Lead ABA Behavioural Interventionist Required- In the Mt. Pleasant area.

I am posting on behalf of the family.

We are looking for a new lead therapist for our son’s well established ABA team. Our son is turning 8 years old and has been in an ABA program under EAP for 5 years.

We are a very active and busy family and are looking for a dedicated and energetic team member. Our therapists do ABA therapy, as well as provide home, community, and day-camp support. Potential lead therapists should have experience in these areas, as well an ability to supervise team members. Lead experience is not required, as on the job training will be provided for the right applicant.

Your sessions would be 3-5 hours a day, 2-4 days a week, including bi-weekly team meetings and overlaps with other team members. A 6-month commitment required.

We look forward to having you join our team. Please send resume and cover letter along with any questions.

Thanks!
