November Parent/Caregiver Training for In-home VB programs (Indiana)

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates:

Sorry for the cross-post!

Pamela Fortune Foundation Autism Clinic training for parents that

want to run their own in-home programs and cannot afford a

traditional in-home VB program!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to let you know of an upcoming seminar that our family's

foundation, The Pamela Fortune Foundation, is putting on for

families that cannot otherwise afford an in-home Verbal Behavior

therapy program. This program is for families that want to start

and run their own day to day VB program, with the assistance of our

Clinic's Managing Therapist. Here is how it works…..

The two-day seminar is November 19th and 20th, 2005 at Woodland

Country Club in Carmel, Indiana. The cost is $40 per family (up to

3 family members). The presenter is Dr. Carl Sundberg and the

program cost is being underwritten by the Foundation. There are

some prequalifications, however, since the goal of this program is

to reach those that are being overlooked by an expensive therapy

like VB.

In order to attend the seminar, you need to:

1. Certify to the Foundation (through the submission of tax

documentation and phone conversations, if needed) that your income

and family situation is such that funding a private, in-home VB

program on your own is not possible,

2. Agree that at least one or more member(s) of your family

will be conducting the in-home VB therapy program for your son or

daughter,

3. Be located close enough to Carmel, Indiana that you are

willing to drive to the Foundation's offices for your child's weekly

status meeting with our Clinic Managing Therapist.

4. Understand and acknowledge that a VB program is only as good

as the training, time and energy put into the therapy with your

child. We will provide access to a high level of training and

oversight in an ongoing basis. However, you must agree to keep your

expectations manageable and in line with the time that you can spend

conducting therapy each week.

After the seminar, attending families will be able to enroll in the

Clinic at a minimal monthly fee to offset the Clinic's costs. After

the submission of your tax documentation, I will be happy to discuss

this cost with you. Our Managing Therapist and I will meet with you

at your home to further discuss the Clinic's program and you will

initially have weekly status meetings at the Clinic to discuss

therapy techniques and your child's progress.

If you are interested in our Foundation's Clinic program, please

Thank you for your interest.
