Tristan’s Screening for Intensive Behavioural Intervention
Here in Ontario the only service for autism is intensive behavioural intervention (IBI). I’ve talked a bit about it before: it’s a really intensive type of therapy that is usually one on one.

It’s usually at least 20 hours per week. This is the only treatment the Ontario government pays for.

It’s been a busy fall for the green family and what I’d like to do here is just offer up some quick highlights as to what has been going down the past month or so.
Vaccines and Autism Part III: Vaccine Safety Studies
