For those who couldnt catch the Bill Good Show this morning … Jean Lewis and Sabrina Freeman spent their BC Day in the downtown studios of CKNW to give Bill Good an interview on the recent BC Supreme Court landmark decision on medically necessary autism treatment. They are on about 10 minutes into the show (after the Pride Parade segment).

Good Show today (CKNW, AM 980, Monday August 7).
Hi:
Just wanted to let everyone know that there is quite a good article concerning a family who have done ABA with their son, in the September issue of Goodhousekeeping. (Julia Roberts is on the front).
It gives a very positive story.

Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to put my 2 1/2 year old son on a milk and gluten free diet. I am not much of a baker and would appreciate any information on ex.) good bakeries or natural food stores that stock these items. I am interested in breads, pastas, cookies, mixes etc. I live in the Richmond area and have found some items already. My son also has had multiple ear infections which I have heard this diet might benefit.
Thanks for any info!

We use Dr. Don Scheideman at the Pediatric
Dental Group. They have offices in Richmond,
Coquitlam and at Oakridge. Obviously there's
an office closer to you, but the one at Oakridge
is more 'team-friendly' I find. In any case,
they're the best, and Scheideman's fabulous,
though I understand his partners are excellent
too.
Hi Everyone
Does anybody know of a dentist who has experience with autistic children and is in the Richmond area

Hi Everyone,
The current cover story in Newsweek is on autism, entitled "Understanding Autism".
We hope everyone supports this type of coverage by picking up a copy of the magazine; the article is available at http://www.msnbc.com/news/436601.asp?cp1=1
Regards,

Re: Success/brag stories
David:
I think that is an excellent idea! I don't know about everyone else but when I started, I used to search the web for success stories and clung to them for hope. Now when I am down, it's great to hear of both great quick breakthoughs of the younger kids but also the breakthroughs and achievments of the kids still doing programs after a few years. It gives you hope for the future. Reminds you that for some of us, this isn't a race but a marathon and to keep your eye on the ball, stay focused and keep moving toward your goal- your child's personal best. It might even be a neat idea to initially give a brief overview of where the kids were when they started ABA and how they are now.

Dave,
That's a great idea. This way I remember and re-enforce those wonderful positive moments that are so easy to forget in the midst of problems and challenges.
Good for thinking this, Dave.
