North Shore ASBC Lecture Series
The North Shore ASBC Support Group proudly presents:
*** A Presentation for PARENTS Only ***
Becoming an Effective Advocate
Basic Skills for Dealing with Government Agencies
by
Jean Lewis
Parent and Advocate
at
7:00pm, Tue Oct 15
in
Welsh Hall West
downstairs in the
West Vancouver Memorial Library
GUEST SPEAKER:
Jean Lewis is one of most prominent autism advocates in Canada. She was previously a founding director of FEAT BC, and a key figure in the Auton and Hewko cases. Jean is currently continuing the advocacy in multiple roles, including directorship of Medicare for Autism Now.
TOPIC:
This is Jean’s advice for all families struggling against government bureaucrats: "As the parent of a special needs child, you must represent your child's interests at school, in the community, everywhere. You cannot leave this job to others! Advocacy is not a complex or mysterious process. It requires clarity, focus and persistence. It also requires certain skills."
Jean will present an overview of these skills. Her approach is based on the principle that there should be no compromise in the fight for a child’s human rights, and we should accept nothing less than full support of medically necessary treatment.
DIRECTIONS:
The West Vancouver Memorial Library is at 1950 Marine Drive:
