I have a question for Rachel Russell or anyone else that might be able to answer. Re: Melatonin.

As kids get older, I had read somewhere that you do not have to increase the dosage of melatonin they receive each night. Do you know if this is true?

Thanks Michelle

Greetings –

On Monday March 24; 7-9pm in the Peter J. Peters Room at the West Van Library the ASBC North Shore Group Lecture Series presents Sports + Athletics: Why It's Important + How to Involve Kids Successfully.

Keynote Speakers Susan Strong, B.Sc. PT + Catherine Yoell,B.Sc. PT, physiotherapists from the Centre for Ability, will explore age-appropriate gross and fine motor developmental time-lines – what skills, when, introduced in what order and why; ASD and gross motor ability – what to watch for, what to develop, questions to ask your PT/OT; Linkages to gross motor ability + cognitive development; and social aspects of physical ability and positive peer interaction.

Parent Presenters Jean Lewis and Mike Leger will share 2 Case Studies: Learning How to Ride a Bike and Playing Minor Hockey. Each will demonstrate how specific skills were targeted, mastered and show what the learning outcomes are for each child as well as how they overcame the various challenges presented along the way.

So, come prepared to learn and play – all are welcome. Sure hope you can join us!

Hi there, Its Linda Cucek-

I need to post that my Human Rights Case will be:

June 16—June 27th and I will notify people later of where it will be held–its open to the public and media.

I need to find someone thats willing to come forth–that has an Autistic older child in a Group Home, and be a witness regarding how sad and unhappy they are of how their son or daughter is being treated, and would feel more comfortable if they had the Lovaas Treatment.

Call me-Linda Cucek–604-936-3635

hi all! wow………I haven't read back into this [past months] recently……….many thanks to those who make this chat/discussion possible.
my only question is how I will access my funding for my 'soon to be teenager' with autism. [01/04/03] My therapists are reading for training/re-training. Because we dropped off the service due to lack of funds, we are now on a waitlist for autism partnership. What are my options? spbpt2002@yahoo.ca 604-467-8313

[Graham Egli]

Please advise how I may obtain the FEAT list of consultants/therapists that support ABA lovaas therapy. I have looked at the FEAT website but see no link to this list.

I contacted the BC Autism society but they gave me a list of many that do not support Lovaas ABA.

Thanks.

My name is Linda Knoph. I have a little boy who has been in a modified ABA program for 3 years and doing remarkably well. I have now reached the stage where he appears to be a regular little boy to the "untrained eye." He is beginning to present in the gifted range. Is there anyone out there with a child of a similar nature or who has been down this road already who would be interested in having a chat with me regarding a few issues, such as schooling, friends, continuing of therapy and so on?

Please contact me at 604-987-6017 or lindaknoph@hotmail.com

Kind regards,
Linda Knoph
