hi everyone*

i'm just re-mentioning the nice red autism-support wristbands that are now available for 5$ each.

see them at-
https://featbc.org/Medicare_for_Autism_Now.jpg

i told my therapists about them and every member of our team decided to order one! if we all chip in, not only will we get the message out that we want "medicare for autism now," but we'll also help FEAT fund the information packages they send out to new parents who are struggling with how to begin helping their children…

please consider buying the bracelets-
(i'm also going to order them for christmas gifts…)
it's an easy way to do a lot of good for our children.

thanks everyone.
keep up the good fight-
we're making a difference evry day.

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 2.5 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.

THE CHILD WHO COULDN'T PLAY

i don't know if any other parents out there use limewire-it's a free file sharing program…
here's a where you can get it:
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/ftc.shtml

anywho, though i have not had the time/energy as of lately to do much autism surfing, i have 'the child who chouldn't play' documentary in a shared folder, anyone that uses limewire is more than welcome, it was hard to find the address where i initially downloaded the documentary from… and have since lost it…

when searching limewire, type 'the child who couldn't play' in the 'any type' file name box, it should find it
eventually, i will get around to putting more autism stuff in said folder
if anyone has trouble accessing, feel free to email me at:
atlas_shrugging_now@yahoo.ca

**i also have contact info for any parents seeking a private diagnosis in the vancouver area
again, feel free to contact me and i will be happy to help

warmest wishes
Amie
