Coordinating ABA treatment and Government Supported Child Development Aids

Hi
We have been approved for an aide in William's preschool and daycare settings. I need some advice on how to make sure that SCD is in line with his ABA treatment. We will be receiving funding for William (4 years old).

Has anyone had any experiences with SCD and their ABA program? Any tips/advice?

Regards
Heather (William's mom)

My almost four year old son has been recently diagnosed with autism and we are looking for a behavioral consultant.

I have heard good things about Michele Shilvock and would like to heard about your experience if you have/are working with her.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I live in New West and would like to connect with other parents who live in the area to meet for coffee. I feel quite isolated in my experience being new to all this.

Looking for receommendations on a behavioural consultant.

My 4 year old son was recently diagnosed with autism by Dr. DeLevie. We are getting him assessed by Ron Schmidt at ABLE.

Is ABA appropriate for a high functioning child? I am looking for any scientific literature I can read on this topic.

Also, we are looking for a behavioural consultant. The list from ACT is overwhelming. Please help me narrow the list by giving me some names of consultants that you would recommend.

Thank you very much in advance.
