本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Dear Friends,

Thanks Mr.Xu for his referral and kind invitation, it is my pleasure to meet with you and share some of the learnings from my personal experience.

As we all know, Autism covers a broad ranges of disorders on a spectrum as well each child is unique in his/her own exceptionalities, it may be less beneficial to you if I were to discuss treatment and training from a therapist's point of view, for to do so, I would have to first get to know your child a bit more, instead, I would be sharing more from a parent's prospective, typically how I navigate through levels of developmental support & school system when trying to find services for my son and how I determine which would be the most affective approach for him. Bottom line, knowing the system, knowing your child, getting as much support from the system and your community, start as earliest as you can are among some of the key " forwarding steps".

It is great to know that all of you are actively seeking services for your child by forming a parent support network as well as participating in research projects with University of Toronto.

Please feel free to email to xuby888@ yahoo.ca if you have any specific topics you would want to discuss and I would try my best to bring that up in our sharing.

Sincerely yours,

Mabel

P.S It is my regret that although I have no problem speaking in Mandarin and Cantonese, it is less fluent for me to write in Chinese having been living in Canada for so many years, hope to see you all this Saturday :):)更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
