    We are expanding our team and need another therapist. We provide a great environment where you can learn and have fun.

    Our child is almost four and likes to play. He gets along well with people and enjoys interaction. His biggest challenge is speech. While he can communicate he is still learning basic words.

    Our excellent therapist is Nate Searle from Able.

    Thanks!

    Here is a great video about a family and their fight for help.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVFroRcnmwE

    It was filmed in the US in 1976. It is quite amazing to see not much has changed. This video could have been describing any one of us today.

    Andrew,

    Great post. In my humble opinion, "Clement has to go!" should be the thought on any parents mind who has a child with ASD. It should be something we think every time we look at our children.

    I have not voted in over 15 years. I can't even remember the last time I voted. Why? Because I have never trusted a politician to do what they promised. Time and time again they simply make promises and then take my money. I lost interest and hope that these representatives would ever deliver.

    Unfortunately, I expect things to continue this way unless people like you and I demand the system to work again. We must demand representatives who stand for what we believe in and whats more important, deliver.

    I now live in a constant state of rage over the sham we call government. I look at my kids and feel sick that we have allowed a group of people to run our province/country who have zero interest in helping children. These officials stall, talk nonsense and pretend to be sympathetic. Well, in my world, talk is cheap.

    During the next election you can bet I will be there. I will have asked all the parties where they stand on Medicare for Autism and it will be my single issue that will win my vote. Not only will it win my vote but all my friends and relatives will be behind me. So my friends and relatives don't vote anymore that I will effectively command dozens of their votes when I bring them to the polls.

    This angry man is coming back to vote and he is bringing his family and friends with him.

    If your a politician and you're not for Medicare for Autism, you're soon out of a job.

    Hello everyone,

    I as a father whose son was recently diagnosed, I am always interested in what our government is planning for my son’s future. I used to spend my lunch hour surfing the Internet looking for articles about advocacy initiatives. Now, there is an online centralized source to find all the latest advocacy news!

    I would like to invite everyone to visit the new Medicare for Autism Now blog. It is FEAT's non-partisan political initiative to have Autism treatment covered by Medicare.

    This blog is already filling with information about the upcoming rally on March 2nd. It has news releases, articles, event notices, links to useful resources and even videos! It is a great place to see the progress we are making and to leave your comments. As we get ready for the next federal election we will be updating it with even more information.

    We are all in this together so let’s get together online and talk about this initiative. I’ll meet you there!
