a presentation on
Occupational Therapy and ABA
Incorporating Occupational Therapy into a Behavioural Therapy Program

by
Jessica Fung, OTR/L

at
7:00pm, Tues Oct 19

in the
Cedar Room
in the North Building of the
Delbrook Recreation Centre

GUEST SPEAKER:
Jessica is a highly regarded Occupational Therapist who has previously worked for many years as a behaviour therapist. Due to her exceptional skills in both disciplines, she is considered by many to be the ideal Occupational Therapist for children in ABA programs.

TOPIC:
ABA is a highly effectively method for teaching skills to children with ASD, while Occupational Therapy covers highly important skills to be taught. While behaviour consultants have tried different ways of incorporating various therapies into ABA programs, in theory there is an ideal way. Our presenter will discuss the theory, as well as the realities of cooperation among the professionals and families involved.

The presentation will address the following:
1) What is OT? How can it be relevant to my child's overall development?
2) How is it incorporated into an existing or non-existing ABA, home-based program?
3) What are the key ingredients to successfully incorporating OT and ABA programs?
4) Other questions/comments from the audience!

DATE:
Tuesday, Tues Oct 19, 2010

TIME:
7 – 9 pm

LOCATION:
Cedar Room, in the North Building of the Delbrook Recreation Centre

The North Shore ASBC Support Group
is taking requests for topics
for the 2010/2011 lecture series.

We will do our best to invite speakers
available to present the information you need.

Thank you for your support

To parents of kids in independent schools:

A family has been told their grade 2 kid must go to a clinic for a battery of tests (even though he already has an official diagnosis), in order for the school to continue receiving money for his classroom aide.

The problem is that the testing will cost the parents a couple thousand dollars, plus many hours of time.

Have you been asked to do a reassessment? If so, have you managed to get out of it?
