**ABA THERAPIST(S) NEEDED IN VANCOUVER**

I am posting on behalf of a client.

I have a family from Vancouver that is seeking short term help in the form of 1 or 2 experienced ABA therapists, to work with their 12 year old son for the months of July & August. Their son's program is an established one that has been under the supervision of the Early Autism Project for 8+ years.

If you are a therapist who has extra capacity this summer and can possibly help this family, it would be appreciated if you can email the family at "vancouveraba123@gmail.com"

Thank you!

North Shore ASBC Lecture Series

The North Shore ASBC Support Group proudly presents:

Autism and Law Enforcement
Mitigation and Contingency

with
An officer of the
West Vancouver Police Department

at
7:00pm, Tue June 17

in
Welsh Hall West
downstairs in the
West Vancouver Memorial Library

GUEST SPEAKER:

An officer of the West Vancouver Police Department has graciously volunteered his time to answer questions and address potential concerns.

TOPIC:

Despite our best efforts, inadvertent violation (or perceived violation) of the law is possible for many of our sons and daughters regardless of age. There have been cases where the police have been called to North Shore schools in response to behavioural issues. There have also been cases where local children over 18 have been charged with criminal offences. In other cities, clashes between autistic behaviours and armed policemen have resulted in tragedies. This meeting is an opportunity for parents to discuss ways to prevent run-ins with the law, and what to do if it happens.

DIRECTIONS:

The West Vancouver Memorial Library is at 1950 Marine Drive:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=1950+Marine+Dr,+West+Vancouver,+BC+V7V+1J8

The library is easily accessible via Highway #1 Upper Levels, taking either the 15th Street or 20th St. exits.

Coffee/Tea and snacks provided. Donations are greatly appreciated (but not required).

Please RSVP to <asbcnorthshore@yahoo.ca>.
