in our area that have mini type buses, for the public, they are red and white,

and all handicapped accessible. many eldery for shopping and dr appts, and

disabled ride them plus routes of preschoolers from some daycares.   rides

the co-city bus 2times daily m-f, with with co-workers from the workshop and his

waiver monies pay for it as he is unable to drive a car or ride his bike or walk

safely the few blocks to work and the school wont pay for any vocational, which

was a huge disagreement, but they are more than willing to go along with our

plan as long as we or the county pays for it, when they get all that extra money

just for having nathan there at the school, level 3 student, jeesh. sorry got

off on the wrong subject there---anyways I think learning to ride some kind of

public transportation is important for independence. We have had a few problems

on the occasion, all with one older male bus driver, but the company just works

with

us and things get resolved quickly. shawna

<<They are talking about teaching him to catch the

bus cause we live quite close to his work place and there is a bus stop

out in front of our house. Has anyone ever done this? >>

Hi, Everyone.... .Beth.... .we have 'job coaches' that usually teach the kids

bus routes. Where we live there is a special service (part of the bus

service) where anyone with special needs can call and book a ride, in a large

van,

for a minimal cost. I, personally, would have my son learn that. I would

be afraid of him taking the bus by himself.

Take care, Everyone.

Hey Beth,

No we are near the city so luckily nowhere near the fires. My brother

has been stuck in Shepparton since Saturday, they closed off the hwy

and he cant get back just yet. Fires either side of the Hwy. Its a

worry, lots of lives lost.

After reading your post the other day, I went and found a place here

that you can do ABA courses to be qualified ABA therapist. A place

called ABIA (Autism Behavioural Intervention Association) here in Vic,

does a 3 day or 10 week intensive course and they're running all year.

I'm looking into doing one so I can be Jemmas ABA teacher.

Hey Belinda- That is a really good idea. I've done a PECS course (it was

really good!). but I haven't done an ABA course. I might see if there is

one I could do in Sydney. Thanks Beth
