To Whom Concerned:

Tama , was 1 hour late coming here today from CBI.

I took Tama, in the living room and I started talking about- RESPITE, that we can't even go
to church or go out together as a couple anymore. My husband was in the kitchen getting ready for work and upset also about respite, and was asking her if she knew when we would get it, because our Social Worker-Lori Richardson, told us she would see at one time if CBI, could help our family get Respite.
This was promised a year ago, by Wayne Doane and another worker that came.

Anyway, Stan, was upset and raised his voice in a stern way, but wasn't loud.He did not use any profanity. She said she can't stay in such of an environment and took off without James & Brian, she had misunderstood Stan, Stan, was upset not only because of the No Respite, but she took offense to that and told Brian my older son, that this is a bad environment for James, suggesting him going to a grouphome, which we are totally against.

James, is doing really well, thanks to his doctors, he loves living here with us. If things are not perfect, its because we have no respite at all. We were promised it last year when CBI came aboard. Tracy, from CBI, mentioned in front of James that James should go to a grouphome, also, for respite. James, got very angry and upset and reverted back to his frightened feelings when he was sexual abused in the group home in Maple Ridge. He is doing fine here at home. Cbi; gives us no schedule of what they plan to do with James monthly, Tama, told us she just finds out on the spot when she comes from James. So I have no idea of what CBI; is planning for James, it makes it more professional, to know whats going on. They need a stratigic plan and follow through with it, and scientific Behavior consultants.

Brian is a special person for helping James to learn ABA and Lovaas modified treatment, Brian, works hard with James.

I don't think anyone has an idea how it is to live in someone elses shoes–not unless they have walked in them.

Sincerely,

Linda & Stan Cucek

Dear Tracy,

We would like to continue working with CBI, as up until this incident we had no problems with your organization. As for the accusation of false statements and inaccuracies made in the letter yesterday, none have been made. Every member of my family who was in the room at the time, can confirm the statement made yesterday to be true.

We would like to resume the program with James, every delay affects James and his progress. If a new behavior consultant is needed to repair the damage, we will take that option. But the most important thing here is to get James and his development through this program, back on track.

Thank you,

Linda and Stan Cucek,

Dear Stan and Linda,

I am writing this letter in response to the e-mail you sent me on May 1, 2006 regarding the consultation service provided by Tama Menges of CBI Consultants. It is unfortunate the incident that occurred resulted in Tama being extremely upset and subsequently leaving your home. It is equally unfortunate that you chose to write a letter that includes false statement and inaccuracies.

As her supervisor and co-director of CBI Consultants, I fully support Tama’s decision to leave your home because of the inappropriate manner in which she was being treated. CBI has a policy of ensuring the safety and well being of our employees. CBI will not subject our employees to verbal aggressive behaviour including being yelled at and the use of profanity directed towards them. The behaviour and actions that Tama was subjected to seriously jeopardizes the working relationship that CBI has established with your family.

Furthermore, the issue of respite was an inappropriate discussion to be having with Tama. The role of respite care is not her responsibility. Tama’s role is to provide behavioural support services to James and your family.

I have instructed Tama to discontinue CBI services to your family effective immediately, until further notice. I plan to have discussions with Community Living BC regarding how or if CBI will continue our consultative services to James and your family. If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact me directly to discuss your concerns.

Our Precious Gift

Our Precious Gift

Children are a precious gift

They fill our lives with joy and wit

We need to nurture them along

So that our kids will grow up to be strong

If an avenue seems to be blocked

We must open new doors and keep them unlocked

It is our job and mission in life

To give our kids the tools to do right

So when they grow up to lead our world

All of their sails will be unfurled

They’ll do it with grace and Knowledge to bear

That they are our greatest gift and we do and will always care

Our children come into our world aiming to please

But some of our children have special needs

We need to invent a way to guide them through

So within our world they can renew

Their self-esteem, knowledge, and pride

This is our first job as parents – TO GUIDE

And through this guidance and our love

Our children will prosper and rise above

The depths of any despair

With the simple knowledge that WE CARE

CE.C.E. Wood 25 Feb 99

This is a beautiful poem, and I hope one day that all our Autistic children will have health care covered with the medical and that the bill Bill C-459 will be approved.

Dear Debra,

Thats a great letter you wrote to Linda Reid, its about our kids getting the Lovaas Treatment and this is quoted from your letter:
"this is all about what is best for the children
not about personality struggles within the different ministries". I also don't believe any of them know the meaning of the "Lovaas" treatment.

I was also horrified about the decision by the Supreme Court not wanting to support the Autistic Children, this is outrageous and criminal.

But the effort should be applauded! We will survive and continue on.

Hi there, Its Linda Cucek-

I need to post that my Human Rights Case will be:

June 16—June 27th and I will notify people later of where it will be held–its open to the public and media.

I need to find someone thats willing to come forth–that has an Autistic older child in a Group Home, and be a witness regarding how sad and unhappy they are of how their son or daughter is being treated, and would feel more comfortable if they had the Lovaas Treatment.

Call me-Linda Cucek–604-936-3635
