    My five year old son will enter kindergarten in September 2013. Our catchment school is False Creek Elementary. Do any parents have experience with this school and familiarity with resources in our district?

    Registration begins in November and we won't be able to conference with our preschool and the new school until Spring. Although staff is helpful I have not been able to get much specific information from the school at this point other than supports are available and many autistic children have enrolled at the school in the past. If anybody has insight with regards to this particular school and/or other schools and resources availabe in Vancouver it would be much appreciated.

    We are not adverse to a private school rather than public,so also if anyone has feedback with regards to their experiences public vs private it would be much appreciated.

    Please email me at mgranove@yahoo.ca
    Thanks very much.

    Our 4.5 year old son was very recently diagnosed and our family has just started narrowing down options and interviewing Behaviour Consultants. We are debating whether to go with an 'agency' or attempt to hire an independent Consultant and then find Interventionists on our own.

    We have also come across an agency that uses "Reference & Regulate" autism interventions and have heard quite a bit about this agency from word of mouth of friends but cannot find much research online about this type of intervention program in general.

    I am wondering if anybody can share their experience regarding
    1) hiring and administering an ABA team on your own vs using an agency with inhouse Consultants, Interventionists and administration
    2) ABA autism interventions vs R&R autism interventions

    We are still sorting through the options for our son and there is so much information.Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Please send me a private email to mgranove@yahoo.ca .

    Thanks.
    Michelle
