I would like to change my add that was posted April 2, 2009. Due to the responses I received I realized I was not clear as to what I was hoping for.

I would like to be hired on to the Surrey School District starting in Sept., 2009. I have all the requirements to do this. I will be finished the Surrey College coarse in June and have parent and consultant references.

I am hoping to form a relationship with a child in their home environment and then tranfer into the classroom with them in September.

For all those interested I would love to forward my resume for your consideration.

Thanks

Kim Harding

***Looking for an ABA Position on a team with a certified Consultant***

I am currently in the ABA Support worker Program at Surrey College and have over 1,000 hours of training, however, a lot of my experience does not involve peer play skills. I would like to join a team where I have the opportunity to work with the child at Preschool, playdates, or accompaning them to their sports or leisure class.

I would like to say that I have a lot of experience with peer play because I have a son with autism and do respite care with another child on the spectrum, however, it was not overseen by a consultant and therefore will not show up on my resume.

I am in Delta and am willing to travel to Surrey or White Rock.

I would love to forward my resume to those interested.

Please contact me at 604.594.0424 or email at mybad8@telus.net

Sorry I can only post messages on the classifieds, the screen always freezes on me when I try to post on the other chat boards. If any one can help me figure out why, that would be great. My question is a school related one – I was wondering if those parents that have children in the West Vancouver School District (mine is entering Kindergarten) could give me any feed back on their experiences – we are in the Irwin Park catchment. Does anyone have any experience with this school? When do the schools usually hire the SEA that will work with the child. I have an appointment with the Principal and the Special Ed teacher to talk about my child to begin the front-loading. Anyone can tell me what the process is?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Nick
