The Coming Monday: Richmond ASBC Parents Group Meeting

"The Art of Friendship and the Science Behind It"

by

Anna Matchneva, M.Ed., BCBA, PEERS-Certified instructor

Anna has extensive experience in providing hands-on therapy for children with ASD, conducting functional assessment and developing behavior support plans, training and supervising intervention team staff, conducting skill assessment and developing programs that address each child's unique needs, developing and facilitating play and social groups, and conducting parent and professional workshops.

Anna is a PEERS-Certified instructor, under Dr Elizabeth Laugeson from UCLA.

TOPIC:
"The Art of Friendship and the Science Behind It"

Is your child having trouble making and keeping friends? Friendships are important in helping children develop emotionally and socially. In interacting with friends, children learn important social skills, such as how to communicate, cooperate, and solve problems. Some children, however, have difficulty forming friendships. The solution: teach your children specific social skills they need to connect with their peers. As parent, you are the best person to help your child solve friendship problems by expanding their peer network and working together to promote successful get-togethers.

PEERS (Program for the Evaluation and Enrichment of Relational Skills) is a parent-assisted intervention focusing on teens in middle school and high school who are having difficulty making or keeping friends. It is the developmental extension of an evidence-based program known as Children’s Friendship Training (Frankel & Myatt, 2003). PEERS has been field tested most extensively on teens with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), to a limited extent on teens with developmental disabilities and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), and has recently undergone testing with teens with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Date: Monday, Nov 26, 2012
Time: 7-9pm
Location: Tyee room at Steveston Community Centre – 4111 Moncton Street, Richmond

Coffee/Tea and snacks provided. Donations are greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

Got an email from Costco regarding to a Tandem Bike.
Here is the link:
http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=10325310
$349.99 CAD

I used tail-a-bike with my boy, when he was younger. He can ride the bike by himself (in fact, he enjoys biking a lot). Personally, I think this Tandem bike is a great way to enjoy biking with family members.

It is cheaper in US, both Wal-Mart US and Amazon.com are selling at $267.93 US. Wal-Mart may be able to assemble it for you (according to some reviewers).

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kent-Dualdrive-Tandem-Bicycle/3663045
http://www.amazon.com/Kent-Dual-Drive-Tandem-Comfort/dp/B000LELCIE/ref=sr_1_1?

But it will be much easier to return or exchange with Costco Canada.

I will love to get one, if it can fit in my hitch bike rack. For me, a bigger car and a roof rack will be required for this bike.

Enjoy the spring and summer.

Cheers.

Peter
