I had the understanding that she was not put in a loving home but a Psychiatric facility.
"Because of her 24-hour care requirements, she wont go into a foster home, but will be placed in a psychiatric facility for evaluation."

Hello
I am on Vancouver Island near Port Alberni and am looking for a SLP. I have not been able to find anyone.
My son is 8 years old and "high functioning". We need help as he is getting frustrated with his speech and that he sometimes can't be understood. He needs help learning to say certain letters I think. An SLP has been recommended but we can't find one taking on clients.

I helped protest in front of Russ Hieberts office two years or three ago… He was not supportive.. (Now he is the Health Minister I think)
I just got this from CKNW — I am livid.. I do not live in that riding anymore… But I wanted to pass this on to anyone.. I wish there was something that could be done..

Hello Jacqueline,
Will these politicians ever learn? By now you are well aware of Russ Hiebert the Conservative in South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale who talked about holding the Liberals' feet to the fire when it came to wasteful spending, got himself elected, and then became the second highest spending MP in all of Canada, billing you the taxpayer for $637,000 in 2008-2009 over $204,000 more than the average among all MP's and including at least 30 trips for his wife and two kids flying first class from Vancouver to Ottawa and back again.
Now here comes Liberal MLA Ida Chong who is winning her very own war on poverty, and once again, you the taxpayer are paying. She represents the Oak Bay-Gordon Head constituency maybe a 20-minute drive from the Legislature. She also billed the taxpayer for $5,921 last year for meals. Her explanation to reporter Rob Shaw with the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper "When the house is in session, you are not able to leave the legislature". All MLA's can claim up to 61-dollars a day for meals. So it doesn't appear Ida Chong has broken the rules. The rules, it must be remembered, are set up by the MLA's and as Jon McComb so aptly pointed out earlier this year during the Hiebert kerfuffle – the rules are set up by politicians, for politicians.
Great work if you can get it. This is the Liberal government of Gordon Campbell that brought in the HST because the worldwide recession kicked the crap out of provincial government revenues. This is the government that just last year the same year she claimed $6,000 for meals laid off hundreds and hundreds of civil servants. All of that is fine I get it. The recession hurt. But hasnt Ida Chong ever heard of bringing her own lunch to work? Is that such a radical concept? She sleeps in her own bed every day, eats breakfast in her own kitchen but hey, if a perk is there Im damn well going to take full advantage because someone else is paying the bill. I'm sure Ida Chong works hard and I know as a politician, she sometimes works long hours, but $6,000 for lunches and dinners?
In the grand scheme of things, $6,000 is not a huge amount compared to the billions the government spends. Then again, Russ Hiebert's $637,000 is just a drop in the bucket in the overall federal budget.
But that's not the point.
Arrogance and entitlement that's what Hiebert displayed and Ida Chong is doing the same thing. Ida Chong how about a little humble pie for lunch, and you pay the damn bill for once. Will these politicians ever learn?

CKNW NewsA Girl friend of mine moved back east to Ontario — She just emailed me wanting me to help a girl friend of hers who's twin boys have just been diagnosed with Autism. The friend is not "coping well" at the time so she wanted to know if they had any support or help out there.
Can anyone who can help me connect this mother to anything in Ontario please email me.
This came from "sizzle life" a group that supports ADHD …(at least that is what I get from it). They touch on other issues and areas of behavior etc.
This was inspirational for me — The world is changing.. Maybe Canada will realize how important every child is — and how every child has a talent or gift.
How about THIS for a twist?

We are moving to PORT ALBERNI, BC
SEA (We homeschool) and ABA Therapists needed for 7 year old boy.
Please email:
(Any other families in Port Alberni?)
Okay.. I need to know if this is true or not.
My Mom said she saw it on the news – I have no clue which news or anything.
She said it was about a child with Autism who was non-verbal. He was going to school. His mother noticed bruising and couldn't figure out why.. and I guess the school didn't say. She finally got frustrated and sewed in a voice recorder in her son's shirt. When she listened she was mortified. He must have made a sign for hungry – cause the aid says "what are you hungry?…. There's a pizza in the garbage – eat it. .. No it's fine.. eat it… See.. I told you it was okay".. and at another time the boy made a noise for some reason – and then you hear a beating.. (that's how my mom described it)… My mom said that the parent was frustrated because they could not charge the aid. The Aid admits to the garbage.. but says it wasn't her beating him. So they have no proof.
This has been eating at me since my Mom told me – I keep thinking she must have it wrong… So I just have to ask If any of you have hear of this?
