Douglas College – Employment Supports Specialty Advanced Certificate is for practitioners who want to help people with autism spectrum disorder find and keep meaningful work. This fully online 15-credit public post-secondary credential is the first in Western Canada to address this important area of need. CLBC/Douglas College Foundation bursary awards are available for this program.
Reposted to add that the registration deadline is November 30th, and the program starts January 2014.
In August, ACT transitioned from our www.actcommunity.net address to www.actcommunity.ca – at the same time, we updated our email addresses.
Emails sent to our old @actcommunity.net address are being directed to our new @actcommunity.ca addresses, but we encourage you to update your contacts list to our new @actcommunity.ca addresses.
A new tool, developed in B.C., aimed at helping parents and caregivers to prepare for visits to a hospital emergency department is now available on the ACT website. The medical profile form was developed in response to the concerns of many caregivers faced with communicating complex information to medical staff, while coping with a distressed individual with a developmental disability, autism and/or a mental health concern.
On Day 1 of the Sibhops event, we have 7 adult siblings for a panel discussion. This is a unique opportunity to see what siblings have to say about about the challenges and the strengths of growing up with a sibling with special needs. When we had a siblings panel last year, it was one of our most popular and powerful sessions. Not to be missed!
