Dearest FEATers,

I need your help:
I'm trying to convince my ex husband
(for MANY reasons) to move to TORONTO.

As far as Autism goes, do any of you know about (any and all) pros and cons involved with moving there?

Or, do any of you know anyone currently in TORONTO running an aba team? I need advices and information.

Come get me at scissorhappy@shaw.ca

Thanks A Lot,

Mark January 26th on your calendar because FEAT of BC workshops are back!!

January 26th, from 10-4pm at Strawberry Hill Public Library in Surrey, BC.

This new and improved workshop will focus on the application of basic theoretical constructs such as:

1. Reinforcement

3. Prompting
4. Behavior

and more!

There will also be video to illustrate concepts as well as hands on components to apply what we are learning with individual feedback from the presenters.

Dear parents:

My boy is almost 6. In other words, the funding is going to be cut down pretty soon…
I will really appreciate any sharing and tips of managing an after 6 years old team effectively.

Thanks a lot.
