Sharing the diagnosis and information about sexual health

All parents want their child to flourish in a loving safe environment but how can we protect our children once they leave our care?

Time: 7-9pm

Here is a little reminder of why we all do ABA. Thanks to Sabrina and Jean for bringing ABA to BC and thanks to Rick Ryan for bringing ABA Support Workers into the schools and thanks to all the therapists out there who work with our children. We parents are very blessed to have you.

This is a recording of my 14 year old son and his ABA Support Worker (careful, kleenex might be required). Happy New Year!!

You know you're the parent of a child with autism when you instinctively do a mental checklist for autism on every baby you meet! http://www.autismpundit.com/files/7522933f070ca1c0a0c3b0fbcd91ab1e-145.html
