> The Autism Society of B.C.'s North Shore Chapter is excited to present a session on "ABA in the School System".

This is a reminder about our meeting next week. It is a must for anyone with a child in the school system or have a child going into the system in the next year or two (never too early to get educated about the system). We will talk about life with IEP's how to keep them ALIVE and working for YOU! This will be a good discussion, as the aftermath of IEP's is just as/if not more important then the IEP itself.

> ** PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF LOCATION BELOW. *
> Bohdanna Popowycz Kvam, well-known local ABA consultant, will discuss the IEP (Individual Education Plan) and review strategies to maintain your home programme goals in school. Mike Hancock, parent and formerly a school board lawyer, will review parents' and students' rights under the School Act, including the section 11 appeal process.
>
> To accommodate our speakers' availability, this session will be held:
>
> Date: Tuesday, Nov. 7th
> Time: 7 pm – 9 pm
> Location: ** Hillside Baptist Church
> 870 Lynn Valley Road, North Van.
>
> The Church is easily accessible from the Upper Levels Highway. Just past the top of "the cut' take the Lynn Valley exit and head north towards Kirkstone Rd, the church is on the left hand side of the road. You will have to go past the church and then turn around at your first opportunity to access the church and its parking lot.
>
> We would like to see a great turnout for these speakers who are giving up limited time. Kindly R.S.V.P. to Andrea at andreafinch@shaw.
