this is sad but it is hard for those in USA to know guidelines of

Canada things and laws in such suits.

--- Hi

I don't know if I'll be much help but my daughter is going to be on

the waiting list for IBI here in Sudbury, Ontario. She hasn't been

officially diagnosed yet with Autism but the Pediatrician and the

psychologist both agree that she is Autistic , just has to be on

paper. Anyways, I have been told that IBI can really help the child

and I know how hard it is to be on waiting lists. I hope everything

works out for you and I hope you can get her in the program.

.Hi I am in Alberta and 2 of my children did IBI for 2 years.It really has

been a godsend to us.The improvement in speech alone has been more than 200%.We

feel as parents much better able to cope and have our children thrive.The

sensory integration helps really make a difference and we are thrilled with the

progress of the children.Considering the cost of IbI(here30 -50 thousand) a year

having it covered by the government is fantastic.Our children are autistic and

will always be but every time you see them learning and happy makes everything

Worth it. Lea

Hi

I am a single Dad in the US. My daughter is 12 now, but she was 4 at the time

of the divorce.

If your IBI is the the same/similar to our ABA then it is definitely worth

fighting for. My daughter has been in ABA programs since 3 years old and has

made a world of difference, not that I still don't have some major problems, but

I can imagine how bad it could have been if she didn't get help as early as she

did.

You post leaves a lot unsaid and the laws I'm sure are different here. Although

my kids live with me, " technically " I have joint custody with their mother. My

papers state that I have complete control over day to day activities, but

require her approval for major life issues.

Are you actually divorced and do you have papers that clearly spell out who is

responsible for what? You don't say why you have the children - problem with

the mother? Not to intrude, but it can make a differnce in court if it comes to

that. Our courts are very sympathetic to the mothers, but will listen if there

are extreme circumstances that could affect the welfare of the child. Can she

stop you outright or does she have to take you to court? If she can't stop you

outright then go ahead with your plans. The mother then would have to prove

that this type of program would be harmful to her and I doubt if she can do

that. If she can stop you right away by not signing approval papers then go to

the court to see if you can a judge to allow the program until a full hearing

can be held especially if you have doctor's notes. I'm sure that she won't be

able to get any papers from doctor's or teachers saying that the program will

harm your daughter. You can contact me on or

off list if I can be of any further help.

I hope that I don't upset any one on this list - I try to tread very lightly

here as the list is mostly women, a few Dad's and even fewer single Dad's with

custody. How many single Dad's are there on this list? I hope that every one

is open enough to acknowledge that considering all we hear about deadbeat dads,

that there are some deadbeat Moms too!
