Still looking for just the right person! Seeking a playful, fun-loving, and preferably experienced therapist for White Rock area team. Our almost-four-year-old son is funny, bright, verbal, and enthusiastic about his program. He is a fast learner, and has a great sense of humour!

We are fortunate to have Consultant Liana Maione providing an intensive model of supervision to our son's program, so this would be a great opportunity for a therapist who welcomes frequent overlaps and opportunities to further develop his or her skills.

We are looking to fill 3-hour-shifts on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and possibly on Saturday. Must be 19 years old, willing to submit to a Criminal Record Check, and available for a minimum of 6 months. If interested, please e-mail a resume, references and availability (days and times) to mummyx2@hotmail.com . Wages will depend on your experience.

I am looking for a therapist to come and join our team. I lead a group of wonderful therapist and have room for one or more. We have not lost any therapist so that tells you we have a team that people enjoy. I am extremely fair and believe we are a team so your input is just as valuable. I believe being kind and fair to each other brings a great team. The family I work for is amazing and yes they pay for training! I am looking for someone who is deticated and wanting to learn all about ABA. A couple of shifts a week is available so just let me know what works for you and we can see if it is available. Our consultant was Doctor Lovaas assistant so you can imagine she really knows her stuff. The boys are 3 and 5 and so adorable one is ready for school in the fall so we are getting into some exciting programs. If this sounds good to you please give me a call by phone or email. the location which is West Vancouver near the light house park. I am from North Vancouver and have taken the bus so it is only 15 minutes from Park Royal by bus.

· Prompting
· Different types
· What is it and how best to use it
· The various steps involved in a child acquiring a skill
· Reinforcement
· How to identify
· How to use
· General discussion around behaviours and the language used
· Strategies for data collection

Who would benefit most from the class:

About the facilitators
I am pleased to announce that Gabrielle Stigant and Kelley Lloyd-Jones will be the two Lead therapists facilitating the upcoming class. Both individuals are well experienced and highly trained Lead therapists who have been working in the field of behavioural intervention with children with autism for many years. Together they have logged over 7000 hours with over 30 children ranging in ages from 2 to 13 years of age. They have been involved in training new staff and supporting existing teams and have both acted as support staff to children in the preschool and elementary school settings. They are experienced in working with many highly respected behaviour consultants who currently work in this province and share a vast knowledge in the areas of discrete trial teaching, data collection, behaviour modification and how to train other staff.

*Please be advised that this training class does not allow a participant to run an ABA program without direction by an approved Consultant. It is for educational purposes only.
