There are so many therapies – how do I know what works?

ABA has for many years been confirmed by study and credible authorities as the most substantially evidence based effective autism intervention. There are too many sources to list here!

It is crucial to be able to ask the right questions and find the flaws in the science behind every purported treatment, or to find the evidence, where it exists, that the treatment is effective. "The Complete Guide to Autism Treatments" by Dr. Sabrina Freeman was inspired by parents of children afflicted with autism. After speaking with several thousands of parents about various treatments and answering similar questions over and over again, Dr. Freeman realized that parents need a clear way — a guide — to help make appropriate treatment decisions for their child.

To this end, Dr. Freeman gives her scientific evaluation of most of the major and minor autism treatments available today, and then personalizes the analysis by telling the reader whether or not she would use the treatment on her own child.

An Autism Parents "Bible" to funding and administration:

http://www.asdfunding.com

This site is maintained by a parent. It will become your go-to resource for all questions about funding and administration and also has an excellent section "ABA Team" which contains a roadmap for building a therapy team as well as examples of recruitment ads, interview questions, and tips for staying organized.

What is my life going to look like with an ABA team in the house?

This is a great video series for parents with a new diagnosis to watch.
It is hard for new parents to envision what a life with ABA looks like.
Here is a great series of youtube videos called the A Word which follows a family and their son Jack on their journey of diagnosis and therapy. A good resource for new parents who want to see what ABA in the home looks like!

*** Looking for pieces in our puzzle ***

We are looking for someone to join our home based ABA team. Our team is made of some AU-SOME people that have been together for over 2 years. Two of our core B.I.’s are leaving us for some amazing adventures. You are most welcome to ask for our references from our current B.I.’s or ones that are leaving to check us out.

As our Rock Star little guy is starting Kindergarten in the Fall so we are looking for shifts for after school and on Saturday’s. If you are currently in school/college/Uni this would perhaps work out awesome for you (I also have a lead on another family looking for morning B.I.’s and their little guy is going to be new at ABA and going to kick it too).

You should be a little high energy, but also a littler stern, a bit wild and have a love for music – our guy is into Calvin Harris, LMFAO, George Ezra, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and unfortunately Robin Thicke
But he is also known to like Opera too, a little ‘Ave Marie’ doesn’t hurt that much.

You don’t have to be old hat at this as we do offer training to anyone that is going to be a fit for the team.
Our consultants are Dr. Sara White and Rubina Mangat.
We live in Ocean Park – South Surrey and we are close to major and community bus stops.
An competitive hourly rate will be discussed with regards to experience

Send me a little ditty on yourself, your last adventure and what you plan to do with your life and if you have a resume lying around, it wouldn’t hurt to attach it too.

Laters,
Mother of two gorgeous girls and one AU-SOME little dude

Parents,service providers, and therapists:

In case you didn't know, here's some important information….
It is highly unprofessional conduct to poach therapists off other people's ABA teams. It is really not acceptable to approach therapists who are clearly working with an individual in the community, school or elsewhere – and interrupt them, ask personal questions – then offer them a job on your team! It is both unethical and unprofessional. Also, using my name or saying you know me in order to entice potential recuits is as unethical as it is offensive.

There are many ethical ways to recruit for therapists. Please ensure that you or those who are recruiting on your behalf are acting professionally.

Parents – Please discuss confidentialty expectations with your ABA therapists and Behavioural Consultants to ensure they are properly prepared to protect your child's confidentiality and safety in the community.
