We are contemplating a move to Alberta because supposedly Loovaas is paid for at the pre-school level. Has anyone heard the process to apply for these funded programs in Alberta. We are worried that we will move there, only to find out we are put on a waiting list for a program.
Also, has anyone heard of any good consultants that are currently accepting newly diagnosed kids. We phoned a couple of supposedly good consultants, but after 5 phone calls in 3 weeks, no one has called us back. Any information would be aprreciated. Thanks.

As of the parent group meeting on Wed., my
husband and I have decided to "Just Do It"
and we've started calling consultants on the
FEAT list to start up a program.
We are a little confused, however, because we
have recieved 2 faxes from the Laurel Group
(of course not on the FEAT list but someone
had put them in touch with us)
about 2 different programs, both stating that
they use the LOVAAS method. The one fax
compared themselves to LIFE (which is on the
consultant list) and to Project PACE (I haven't
heard of them) One of the programs is called
the Me 2 program. Has anyone heard of it??
Is it possible that they have hired "real"
consultants from the States?
I'd appreciate any feedback!
Thanks, Shanan Rice

Hi all,

Since I posted the recipe idea, I found out that
you actually have to visit the board to get the
file. so what you have to do is to go to
http://www.featbc.org and then visit the chat from
there, then you can download the file. I
welcome all comments and look forward to
posting it on the website, and making it
available. The only thing that I like to ask is
that everyone respond as promptly as
possible, so that i can incorporate all the info
and post it.

Thanx

Dave

Hi all,

I have been working on this little recipe for
how to setup a home program. just the
different steps. and the lingo that we use in
programs, like senior therapist, consultant,
case manager, I have tried to define the terms
and also give a general shape of what a day
looks like. Could you all have a look at the file,
and see what i might have missed and also
stuff a new parent would like to know, and
add to it. The object is to get a reasonably
condensed version of a home program setup,
get it translated in to a number of languges as
well and see how we make out with it click on
the attachment it is a MS Word file so most of
you should be able to read it
