We run an ABA style program with a BCBA board certified Behavior Consultant. Our program is heavily OT and PT based, with fine and gross motor skills a top priority. The key to our program is maintenance. We have a fun, laid back environment, and are looking for the right fit for our daughter and family!
The Right candidate will be outgoing, fun-loving, patient and energetic! Shifts are flexible, 3-4 per week! Wage will be negotiable, based on education and training

mavis67@gmail.comMemberHello All…
My 3 year old daughter has just got a diagnosis of Rett Syndrome, and with this comes many questions… My husband and I have suspected for some time that this was indeed what she had, so a little of the shock has wore off….However we now need to plan for her future and give her the best chance at life that we can.. So we need some help from all of you..
First we would love to speak to anyone who has worked with a girl or has a child with Rett Syndrome, as it is quite rare… But our bigger questions have to do with her ABA therapy. She has been doing ABA for almost a year now, as she got an ASD diagnosis at 2 years old. She has made some gains, but her progress is slow, and now due to her Rett diagnosis we understand why her fine and gross motor has been regressing. So another question is how we can encorporate ABA with OT??? We have a great Consultant that has taylor made her program to her needs, which is why I think she had retained some of her hand function..We have an OT through the Child Development centre, but her visits are so rare and they overprompt her. So we need someone who will come in and be an addition to our ABA team and not hinder her progress.
We have many other questions, but this is a start, any information anyone can forward please do. Thank you for your consideration..

MemberHello All!!
I am looking for some feedback on edible reinforcements for my 2 year old daughters ABA program.
We will be implementing a gluten and casein free diet soon, and at this time most of her reinforcements are edibles ( cheezies, Reeses pieces, gummies).
We need to find replacements for these edibles that are gluten and casein free…
Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks in advance..Leah Palsson

I am unsure where to begin!!! So I will start at the beginning ( seems like a good place). My 28 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with ASD this past March, which as you all know has taken over our lives!!!! It seems like everyday we are just trying to keep our heads above the water, and somedays it feels like we are drowning!
Our daughter is the best thing that has ever happened to my Husband and I, except for the recent addition of a baby brother 1 week after we got an official diagnosis. So life is crazy at the best of times and trying to set up a Home based ABA program with an infant was a challenge.. However we have plugged along and now have 12 hours of ABA therapy a week and are hoping to build up to 20-25 hours in the fall. YEAH!!!
Thank God I am on Maternity leave from work, as I have been able to facilitate most of the hard work that is getting this program up and running. The hard thing is that my husband works evenings and I cannot get out to functions to network with other parents, so the computer has been my lifeline and I read all the post on the message boards, so thanks to all you hard working Moms and Dads that have walked before me and have paved the way( still a rough road )..
So thats our story, but I am badly in need of some advise from people who are in the know, and this is the only place I can think of to ask. We have just began our daughters program at the begining of June and things are slow, some days are good and some are not! Our little one is non verbal and has NO form of communication, except by crying and whining, sometimes she seems to know what we are saying and others not at all, but our BIGGEST problem by far is her "mouthing". She constantly, and I mean constantly has her right hand in her mouth "stimming" , ( to the point where she will no longer use her right hand at all) and everything she get her left hand on, goes into her mouth,( rocks,grass,feces,everything) as you can imagine it is extremley dangerous, and we have to monitor her at all times! We have some oral motor toys and a " chewy " but nothing has helped Any suggestions would be appreciated, as this is a huge barrier to her ABA therapy, as she is more focused when her hand is out of her mouth!!!
I also wanted to know about (The diet) GF/CF, I have heard a lot of good thing about it, and my daughter does have allergies and food intolerances and sensitivities… Feed back on this topic would be great too!!!!
Thank You

MemberTanja and Tina:
Wow, we are all in the same boat. I have just recently joined the message board. My daughter was just diagnosed with ASD on March 3rd, and one week later on her 2nd birthday I gave birth to our son. So right now we are in the process of getting her ABA therapy up and running, all while taking care of my almost 6 week old baby!!
Tanja my daughter has feeding issues as well, and many people I speak with have said the same thing. My daughter will eat until vomitting, and has texture issues. She is very orally fixated and EVERYTHING goes in her mouth, which is scary, but we have been lucky so far that she has not hurt herself or worse!!! I have no advise for you, except to hang in there, we are all here for you! And like David said, the parents before us have blazed a trail for us, however it is still a fight everyday, but please know that we are all here fighiting together…
If you ladies need to talk feel free to contact me, as we have so much in common and can lean on each other, and fight beside each other in the trenches!!! Take care and please know that you are not alone…
