MemberCAREER OPPORTUNITY
A fantastic opportunity to work with Dr. Richard Foxx and Sharon Baxter is available. An ABA treatment home for a student who has been in an ABA program for a number of years, but continues to demonstrate challenging behavior is being developed in Victoria BC. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced tutors to become involved in a challenging and rewarding position with a student with very unique programs and behavior management systems. Excellent training and a high level of supervision will be provided.
Successful applicants are required to have completed a high school degree; have at least six months experience working in home-based ABA programming, a license to drive, a means of transportation, have, or be willing to obtain a valid first aid and CPR certification, food safe certification, clear criminal record check, a clear Ministry of Children and Families check and a drivers record check. Participants will be required to take a crisis intervention training course upon being hired. The student being served at this treatment home is a very active 14 year old boy, and as a part of his behavior management program staff are required to take him running, to the pool and to other community-based recreation activities. Therefore, it is essential that staff are in good physical condition and can participate in these activities with him; male applicants are preferred, as this student also requires assistance with personal care skills.
To apply for this rewarding position, please send a current resume and introductory letter bye email to:

Victoria, BC V8V 4B1MemberHello all,
I just wanted to pass on an idea for any university/college students out there (particularly psych majors). I have requested that my profs allow me to take 2 minutes at the beginning of class to explain the petition and then circulate it during the class. Both profs I have asked have said yes. In one class today I collected 30 signatures, and I will be circulating the petition in another on tomorrow. The second prof has asked that I present "both sides" of the issue for "educational purposes" but has still agreed to let me talk and pass around the petition. So, if you are a student/instructor wondering how you can help – give this a shot!
To all the parents – I am more inspired each day by all of you!

(ABA Senior Instructor).MemberRe: Anonymous concerned about therapists "planning" on becoming consultants.
I, like Janna, am also a therapist who has the *eventual goal* of becoming a consultant. I am completing my BA in Psychology, and have been in correspndance with representatives from various graduate programs, and attended the International Association for Behavioral Analysis conference with the chief aim of looking into ABA graduate studies, and learning. All the therapists that I have known/know that are working towards becoming a consultant are those who are VERY aware that they are NOT consultants. They are those planning an educational path that includes a masters in applied behavioral analysis, with specific supervised training in its application to working with children with autism. These therapists are NOT the ones you, as a parent need to be concerned about, they are doing (or will be doing) graduate studies and training at reputable universities – which, I might add, will often be those in the United States requiring relocation, and significant financial means. No, we don't deserve a medal for this, that is not the point, what it should indicate though is that we are willing to do this because we want good training and credentials under qualified, experienced professionals in the feild of ABA. Parents need to be concerned about therapists who are not planning these studies, or, who are working at a level beyond their qualifications. Also, note the fact that there have been several therapists from this area who were once, like myself, "planning" on becoming consultants – they went to grad school, and further training and have either come back here as qualified consultants (for example, Rachel Russel), or are continuing their post-graduate studies. I am sure that Janna, as well as others who are planning a similar path to myself would NEVER consider deeming themselves consultants without the necessary qualifications. Hope this puts your mind somewhat at rest.
