Unfortunately the NBC Autism DVD's are no longer available. There were only 5000 made and they are all gone. I called their customer service and apparently there are no plans to make more available. Darn!

Hi Tony!
I am currently living in the U.S. and if you are really anxious to get your hands on the NBC program, we could probably work something out whereby I order it and then ship it to you. I only caught a short part of one of the segments, but it was a very interesting discussion about the vaccine debate. In any case, if you are interested, let me know, I'm sure we can figure something out. You can email me directly at carolynseviltwin@yahoo.ca.

Regarding the NBC autism DVDs: I found them by typing "autism" into the search box, and yes they are free. However, when I tried to type in my address for the delivery, I saw: "ShopNBC does not deliver outside the United States at this time." What a disappointment.

7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., Monday, February 28
Nanoose Bay Elementary School

Our topic is "Care and Feeding of an ABA Program".

We plan to discuss aspects of starting and maintaining a successful program, including:
* finding a consultant and team members
* paying for your program
* understanding who plays what role
* maintaining confidentiality and privacy
* motivating
* scheduling

Refreshments will be available.

To finding Nanoose Bay Elementary School:
From the Island Highway turn on to Northwest Bay Road at the light at the Petro-Canada station. Wind your way up the hill. Just past the Red Gap shopping centre on your left and Nanoose Place Community Centre on your right will be Nanoose Bay Elementary School on your right.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks.
Diane
