    A quick note regarding last week's discussion of Dr. Suzanne Jacobsen. There was an enquiry from someone about her last week and two respondents wrote in suggesting that there were better professionals available. Since I have been using her services for the past year, and I have been more than satisfied with her recommendations and advice, I thought I should offer another opinion.
    Briefly, I have found Dr. Jacobsen to very knowledgeable regarding spectrum disorders, their treatment, and the school system in relation to ASD children. She has never disappointed me in her knowledge, compassion, or reliability to my child or self. When I began using Dr. Jacobsen, my son had already been in ABA therapy for two and a half years and had completed most applicable programs. I spent half a year searching for a doctor of her expertise and experience after our arrival in Vancouver. I wanted someone who could take my child beyond the strict walls of ABA and amend the tasks and procedures to suit my child's particular abilities (Autistic and gifted intelligence). This she has done beautifully.
    If these are some of qualities that you seek in your professional, then Suzanne Jacobsen is more than suitable.
    All the best,
    Linda Knoph

    My name is Linda Knoph. I have a little boy who has been in a modified ABA program for 3 years and doing remarkably well. I have now reached the stage where he appears to be a regular little boy to the "untrained eye." He is beginning to present in the gifted range. Is there anyone out there with a child of a similar nature or who has been down this road already who would be interested in having a chat with me regarding a few issues, such as schooling, friends, continuing of therapy and so on?

    Please contact me at 604-987-6017 or lindaknoph@hotmail.com

    Kind regards,
    Linda Knoph

    This a plea for information from those parents or anyone who might have relevant information, on the how to bring in a foriegn consultant. I am trying to bring in a former therapist of ours from Australia who has just completed a masters in psychology with a specialization in child development and special education. Her qualifications are fantastic and her thesis was on the early diagnosis of autism in infants. She's had 8 years experience working directly with children with Autism. There shouldn't be any problems with experience, or education, but how is it done??? Could some of the parents who have brought up consultants from the United States, for instance, please contact me directly: lindaknoph@hotmail.com or if you wish to remain anonymous please pass the information on via "feat."

    Many thanks, Linda Knoph
