Medicare's Orphans web series Ep 8 Shelley Davis Shelley Davis is a US based Behavioural Consultant who has consulted to BC families for the last 15 years. She is also a practicing attorney. She reviews two US laws - the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and how determined parent advocacy attained both. She describes the stark contrast in approach and delivery of autism treatment between California and BC. In her experience the only reason for improvements in BC was the result of the work and advocacy done by the original FEAT of BC (Families for Early Autism Treatment) parents. However, in her view, we're still at the very beginning of the process. We need to continue to work together and have high expectations because it so too easy for children with autism to be pushed aside.

Verbal Behavior Center for Autism The Verbal Behavior Center for Autism (VBCA) is a not-for-profit center, founded in 2003 by a grassroots movement of involved and concerned parents of children with autism. These parents were not satisfied with the autism treatment options available at that time because the services did not seem to be beneficial for them or their children. As a result, the VBCA was formulated, and our services now give children and their families an effective treatment option that directly targets the symptoms of autism through an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) approach.From:VerbalBehaviorCenterViews:15 0ratingsTime:04:11More inNonprofits Activism Read more here: Verbal Behavior Center for Autism - Video … Continue reading →

I am a practitioner of the Anat Baniel Method and have adopted the philosophy of the Autism Treatment Center of America. Zach is a beautiful little boy with autism. When we began working together his favorite self-regulating behavior was flipping. Several months later he has begun flipping while balancing on a rolla-bolla and has learned to do handstands on a trampoline! He has used colored pens for the first time in his life! Zach now asks his parents using full sentences and doesn't run away from them as much as he used to. Zach is performing better in school than he ever done before. I do gentle movement to improve the brain. If you have a child with autism I would love to work with him or her, too! http http://www.youtube.comFrom:MoveAutismViews:302 24ratingsTime:02:18More inEducation See more here: Autism Treatment in San Francisco - Therapy for Autism - Video … Continue reading →

HUNTINGTON -- When Angela Byron found herself in a tough spot while raising her son, who was diagnosed with severe autism as a toddler, she said there was one person she knew she could count on. "I was calling Huntington from Florida to talk to Ruth Sullivan because I knew she could help me," Byron said. "There were so few places to turn, but she was the one who really could see you through a tough spot." Sullivan, a Huntington resident and pioneer in the autism treatment and awareness fields, was one of several participants in a reception Friday night during the Autism Society of America's fall board of directors meeting, which is taking place on Marshall University's campus this weekend. When Sullivan's son was diagnosed with autism nearly 50 years ago, she said there was little understanding about the disorder. Sullivan made it her life's goal to improve understanding as well as treatment of autism, founding the Autism Society of America and lobbying for the creation of the West Virginia Autism Training Center, eventually bringing the center to Marshall's campus. "You know before there was just nothing for autistic children except for to go into the mental health system," … Continue reading →
