Dear Autism Service Providers (Behavior Consultants, Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Physio Therapists)!

Autism Speaks is coming to Vancouver September 28, 2014! We have noticed from the donor list, that one local ABA service provider has already generously donated $1500, and a few others have donated some as well. Thank you SO much! We appreciate knowing you are thinking of our children, by giving back to them.

With 532 autism service providers on the RASP list, can you imagine the difference you could collectively make by all donating?

The campaign progress is currently only at 13%, $30,352. It would be so amazing if you could make that number jump together!

P.S. Although we would love to see you at the walk, if you can’t make it, you need not walk to donate. Just go to the website and there is a link where you can make a contribution.

Below is the Autism Speaks Website for the Vancouver Walk:

Thank you for your consideration,
-A family of a child with autism.

{Hello FEAT Readers}

The time has come again: Starting in September we need a new line therapist for our team in central Vancouver. Our twelve-year-old daughter is high functioning, verbal, affectionate, and very entertaining. Her therapy is fascinating, and her progress is consistent. She has been doing ABA therapy for ten years. We work under the guidance of Kim Kirsch and Thea Brain through the Early Autism Project, a home-based ABA program. Training will be provided by our current lead, who is amazing. (You are in luck.)

You need to be fun, responsible, dedicated, and creative. You should have strong play skills, a positive attitude, and lots of energy and patience. You are a good multi-tasker, are organized, encouraging, enthusiastic, and responsible. Previous experience with ABA programs is a plus, but as long as you seem bright, caring, and capable, we are interested. A criminal record check will be obligatory.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: picking our daughter up from school, recording data, facilitating playdates, helping with home living skills, and working with her on her fine and gross motor challenges. You would have three sessions a week that run from 3:00 to 5:50, and would need to attend a team meeting, held once a month, from 5:00 to 6:30. We ask that you are able to commit to the team for at least one year.

If you are interested, please send a short cover letter and your resume to Susan Young (our lead therapist) at: youngsusan1981@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you.

{Thanks}
