to anon, the doctor that diagnosed my son told me that no matter where your child is on the spectrum it is autism so i would think that aba would help. we have just started a program recently and have noticed improvements in Liam. he is three and was diagnosed in july. He is starting to talk now and his understanding of the word no has stopped alot of tantrums. I hope this helps you , Louise (liams mum)

I'm wondering if there are any families out there who's children have been diagnosed with Aspergers's and are doing a Lovaas ABA program? I know someone who's just had their child diagnosed and he's wondering if this is an appropriate treatment. My gut reaction was of course to say yes but would like some feedback from parents in this area. Thanks.

Did anyone attend the ASBC Postitive Behaviour Support workshop at UBC today? How was it?

To Anonymous:

Don't be offended…I believe you miss the other person's point, which is that it's really not your responsibility to worry about whether your therapists pay their taxes or not. In other words, our wonderful (<-sarcasm on) government may insist you become an "employer" in order to provide medically necessary therapy for your child, but it should not be necessary. Your therapists are the ones running the business — each is self-employed like every other medical professional, and they are billing you for their services. You shouldn't have to withhold taxes or deal with WCB or anything else because you are not an "employer" in that sense. Of course, I'm not saying that's the way it IS, I'm only saying that's the way it SHOULD be.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help.
But was that rude post REALLY necessary? "Tax evasion is a criminal offence and for good reason. " , "and not even ABA therapists are exempt"Oh come on, it was an honest question, I have been doing ABA for a matter of monthes, and I really DO want to pay my taxes. I wasnt exactly asking if i should, but more HOW i should go about paying my taxes.
Theres no need for such replies, I am sure glad I posted anonymously, and THAT, my friends, is EXACTLY why most people post anonymously. Some members of this board need to get some sensitivity. Please think twice about posting things like that, I am sick of having to phrase my posts in a way not to get attacked.

I have set up a business. I will be paying wcb every three months but i havent had to remit yet. I am getting the IEII funding, I had to open and account in my sons name but giving me signing power.my consultant and slp are self employed but i had to hire therapists and to do that you have to have a business.The self employed ones look after their own taxes but i do all my employees paystubs etc. Lucky for me i have a good accountant who helped me get started. I hope that helps.

Can I have one positive confirmation, not heresay,of someone who has payed WCB, and set themselves up as employers. I have asked both families and therapist and as far as I can tell, this is not done.

[Deleted User]

As far as i know we as parents do have to become employers. only for the therapists as you said the ots etc are usually self employed. I know that familys recieving the ieii funding have to become employers.
