VB in Toronto response for family moving

[Guest guest]

Perhaps you wouldn't mind identifying yourself. I am sure that many people

will be glad to direct you, but in light of the " tense climate " in Ontario

right now due to IBI , consultant qualifications, difficulty families are

having and the fact that people within the autism industry are lurking on

lists to get information that may or may not be used against people. Its sad

it must be like this, everyone afraid to help someone else for fear of "

less " for their child. It is so truely sad.

I was curious where you have received your VB training? I was not aware that

we have people in Ontario who were consulting on this level? If you are

trained and have qualifications to meet IBI there are many families in S.O.

looking for just such a person.

I think people are trying to be careful of liable situations. Many of us

have our opinions of the money being contracted out to an existing autism

industry. Many of us have our opinions of the Geneva Center.

What I can say is I have heard fairly decent things about Dr. Factor

with Surrey Place.

Without knowing alittle more of who you are, that is all I can share.

respectfully,

Norrah Whitney

PS. will you be attending Dr. Carbones' workshop in Toronto ? Is the family

aware of the upcoming workshop the end of February?

There are two one is the introductory and the other is for families who do

not have access to a consultant which is limited to a small group of

participants to ensure maximum benefit to the people attending. Perhaps this

may be an option for this family.

I myself have not attended workshop number two but workshop number one in

Orlando was worth every dime and more.

I believe the Jericho web site will have the details in case your family may

be interested.

although with the child being in funding range their are certain

restrictions with the IBI guidelines as I mentioned to " consultants " but of

course that doesn't have to stop the family from furthering their knowledge

of VB or enhance the direction of their program....

have a family with a child who has been in a home ABA program for about 4

months now. the family is moving to the Toronto area and is looking for a

consultant to provide them with ABA services. i have run their program using

Verbal Behavior and DTT/NET models. so, preferably, a consultant with VB

experience would be best.

do any of you have experiece with...

SURREY PLACE or

GENEVA CENTER????

or have any consultants you would recommend????

please e-mail me directly if you have opinions on providers to " stay away

from. "

thank you!
