The birthplace of the American Revolution: Discover Philadelphia
THE birthplace of the American Revolution is a friendly, vibrant city.

The birthplace of the American Revolution is a friendly, vibrant city
Despite our eagerness to visit the major cities of America's east coast – Boston, New York and Washington DC – there's a tendency to overlook Philadelphia.
Most Brits' familiarity with America's fifth largest city may only extend as far as the 1976 movie Rocky, when Sylvester Stallone's transformation from washed-up boxer to champion prize-fighter was symbolised by the vigour with which he ascended the steps of Philadelphia's Museum of Art. His statue is there now, and the steps are invariably full of people waving their arms in the air in a Rocky-style tribute.
But there is so much more to Philadelphia than that. Philly, as it's called locally, is the birthplace of the American Revolution and therefore arguably the country's most important historical city.
It's also a bustling university city, with 22 four-year educational establishments within its city limits, including the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania, plus a vibrant arts and foodie culture. Not to mention all the shopping on offer.

And its compact centre is easy to navigate on foot. On my visit, during a crisp autumn weekend, I started my exploration by heading for the 55-acre Independence National Historical Park to check out Independence Hall.
A park ranger was our knowledgeable guide as we took in the Assembly Room, where both the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were drafted and signed in the late 18th Century. At the nearby Liberty Bell Center, I got a glimpse of the cracked bell that used to reside in Independence Hall's steeple and was thought to have been rung to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence on July 8, 1776.
I wanted to sample Philadelphia's arts culture, too, so I headed to the Museum of Art with my all-inclusive Philadelphia Pass, which got me a ride on a hop-on Big Bus and free admission to over 40 attractions. After stopping to admire the ancient Greek-style 'Parthenon on the Parkway' (the museum's nickname), I spent several hours soaking up its offerings.
America's third largest art museum, its stellar collection includes paintings by Dutch masters, an extensive array of impressionist work, a good sampling of surrealist paintings and an entire gallery devoted to Marcel Duchamp.
Next door is the small Rodin Museum, containing the largest collection of the sculptor's work outside of Paris, including the very impressive bronze Gates Of Hell.

The next day I got a taste for the city's less formal arts scene by taking a walking tour of its murals. Over two hours we wandered through the streets to view the world's largest outdoor art gallery. Mural-painting in Philly is a well-established popular art form used to highlight social issues and also just for fun – there was a stunning mural protesting prison overpopulation, for example, as well as one featuring famous men called Frank.
In the afternoon I decided to take a self-directed walking tour to the Society Hill section of Philly. It's a colonial-era residential neighbourhood of tree-lined, cobblestone streets full of old red brick houses with shutters, now beautifully restored.
The streets, dotted with cafés and shops, open into lovely squares, including Headhouse Square, where there's a Sunday farmers' market. It's perfect for a morning stroll; if you're feeling energetic you could combine it with a scenic jaunt along the nearby Schuylkill (pronounced 'Skoo-kul') River, which has a 26-mile path along its banks.
I headed towards Chestnut Street and The Shops at Liberty Place for a spot of retail therapy. Pennsylvania is one of very few states in which clothes are exempt from sales tax, making it a very attractive destination in which to stock up your wardrobe. Liberty Place features 55 shops in a chic indoor mall, with a great observation deck at the top.

Afterwards, my credit card already smoking, I found a few more must-have items in the shops down on Walnut Street.
Refuel at Reading Terminal Market, a giant indoor bazaar with a host of food stalls, where you can grab a famous Philly cheese steak (thinly sliced beef and melted cheese in a roll).
If you're a history buff, make a special trip to City Tavern, set in a colonial-style building where there was once a tavern frequented by the founding fathers. Its owner, Emmy-winning TV chef and food historian Walter Staib, has created a menu based on colonial-era food, including beers made from recipes of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, served by staff dressed in garb of the era.
I combined lunch with a little history lesson – who knew that Benjamin Franklin devised a recipe for tofu in 1770?! It was another morsel of knowledge to take on board, one of many I'd gleaned during a fruitful few days in Philly.

There comes a time in a person's life when thoughts turn towards final things. We ask ourselves, what will we leave behind us when we go? What will be our legacy?
Apart from the memories inspired by our actions through our lives, we can benefit our dependants by leaving them a tangible financial legacy, to help them when we can no longer help them ourselves. This means making some smart decisions now – while we are still alive!
The first step is to draw up a will. If you want to direct how your personal property, money and possessions are to be divided among your family when you die, you need to have a valid will. Otherwise, if you die intestate (without a will), your property is divided according to the laws of intestate succession – a process that can take years and often swallows up a lot of money.
Going beyond funeral cover, life insurance is a cost-effective way to provide your family with an income to keep the roof over their head and cover future expenses.
For a will to be valid, you have to be 16 years or older, and you need to be mentally competent. The will has to be in writing, and two people older than 14 have to sign as witnesses. You need to sign your initials on every page and sign the last page in full, in the presence of your witnesses, who must also initial and sign the will.
In your will, you can appoint an executor and divide up your property. The executor's job is to make sure your property is divided up as set out in your will.
You can have a lawyer draw up a will for you, but a simple will from a stationery shop is just as valid.
Funerals are an occasion for people to pay their last respects and support each other in a time of mourning. The last thing your dependents need is to worry about the cost of the funeral; by taking out the right funeral cover, or funeral insurance, you can help ease this burden in advance.
Many different types of funeral cover can be purchased. The three most common options for funeral cover are cash pay-out, cash-pay-out with funeral benefits, and funeral plan with living benefits. The most important thing to consider is what benefits you require. Shop around, and make sure the policy you choose covers your family's needs.
Some funeral providers offer extra benefits such as transporting the body of the deceased to the place of burial. Other popular benefits include unemployment and maternity benefits, so that if you become pregnant or lose your job, you can stop paying premiums for a certain period until you go back to work.
When it comes to funeral providers, quality is better than quantity. Having more than one funeral policy with different providers is usually a waste of money. According to FNB Life, people with more than one funeral plan can end up over-paying by up to 30%. It's also a headache to manage several policies at once, because beneficiary details have to be kept up to date, not to mention the need to remember all the different debit order dates.
Whatever you choose, though, make sure the funeral provider has a good reputation and is able to pay claims. Also, don't delay – the closer you are to retirement, the more likely it is that your funeral cover provider will include a waiting period before any claim can be made.
Going beyond funeral cover, life insurance is a cost-effective way to provide your family with an income to keep the roof over their head and cover future expenses. It is also a good way of clearing your debts, so that your family isn't held responsible for them. Imagine if they were evicted from their house because they couldn't afford the instalments.
Add any debts or liabilities you currently have.


Insulin injections and finger pricks to check glucose levels are still an integral part of life for many diabetics. Scientists are always on the lookout for methods that may help treat this disease without causing pain. Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) just managed to make a breakthrough in medical technology.
Manually injecting insulin is not only painful but it also increases the risk of kidney failure, heart disease and stroke. Other options of treating diabetes, like pancreas transplant, introducing new beta cells etc. isn't widely available due to lack of donors. Researchers have been trying to create pancreatic beta cells for many years now.
The scientists observed that these cells arrange themselves in protrusions called pancreatic islets. The process was observed in a petri dish and the stem cells were clustered artificially in a similar fashion as they do inside the body. This artificial structuring allowed the cells to behave in a similar manner as the regular insulin producing cells.
These clusters were then transplanted into mice and it was seen that in a matter if days, these cells produced insulin in response to blood sugar levels. Of course, there is still a lot more work to be done. There is always a possibility that the human immune system may reject such transfusion of cells.
Anyone willing to undergo this treatment will have to be under the effect of immune suppressors for their entire lifetime. However, one cannot deny that this step is a huge leap in medical technology and we hope that the team will be successful in producing an effective treatment in a few years.

Mustafa Ali: WWE Superstar speaks on how Liverpool Star Mohammad Salah inspires him

Mustafa Ali: WWE Superstar speaks on how Liverpool Star Mohammad Salah inspires him and how he desires to do the same for others.
Mohammed Salah's Liverpool run has been nothing short of heroic. He returned as the highest goal scorer last season. He also led Liverpool to a second consecutive Champions League Final this year.
Salah has become an Icon around the world. And one WWE Superstar wants to have a similar impact like the Liverpool forward. Mustafa Ali, who wrestles on the SmackDown Brand spoke about Mohammed Salah's impact on sports in an interview with Sky Sports.
"What's awesome about Mo is his representation is so far-reaching. I saw a clip recently where he took his daughter onto the field and the entire stadium erupted. You know the reception for her is tied into their love for him and that's what I want to do here. I've got a daughter and I've brought her to WWE events and the moment people realised that's my daughter, they gave her a standing ovation. It's so cool to break down those barriers. Mo Salah is from the same faith as me, he looks like me in certain aspects and what he is doing is inspiring me. Not as a football fan, as a human being I'm thinking 'this guy's awesome' for what he represents."

Mohammed Salah will be competing for the Champions League trophy with Liverpool. They will take on Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain on 1st June. This will be the second all-English final after 2008, which was contested between Manchester United and Chelsea in Moscow.

Over five crore subscribers of the EPFO will get 8.75 per cent interest this fiscal on their provident fund deposits - the same rate as the previous year.
"Finance Ministry has ratified the decision of the EPFO's Central Board of Trustees (CBT) to retain 8.75 per cent rate of interest for the current fiscal," said a source.
The rate was same in the previous year, 2013-14, when it was raised from 8.5 per cent in the 2012-13 fiscal.
This rate of interest on PF deposits would now need to be notified by the Labour Ministry as well as by the Income Tax Department. The decision would be implemented from the date of notification, a senior official said.
The CBT had decided to retain the interest rate on PF deposits at 8.75 per cent for the current fiscal at its meeting on August 26.
As per the practice, decision of the trustees of Employees' Provident Fund Organisation on interest rate is implemented after the concurrence of the finance ministry.
According to the EPFO's income projection, payment of 8.8 per cent rate of interest would have left a surplus of Rs 77.15 crore. But since the income projection of Rs 29,136.42 crore for the current fiscal was done without factoring in interest payment burden due to enhanced wage ceiling, EPFO had suggested to fix 8.7 per cent rate of return on PF deposits for 2014-15.


For home studios and professional recording studios alike, a keyboard is an integral part of any setup. Most compositions start on a keyboard because of its versatility.
With one keyboard, you can program an entire track, which is why they are often the centerpiece of a studio.
When it comes on to choosing the right keyboard for your recording studio, you need to consider several things; not only the quality of the keyboard but how it specifically benefits your studio and your style.
Here are some of the things you should consider in making your decision.
As a musician/producer you have to get the most out of your time to make it work. When adding any new hardware to your recording studio, you need to think about your workflow.
Improving your workflow is about maximizing your productivity. In other words, creating higher quality work more efficiently. As a general rule, if it doesn't improve your workflow then you probably don't need it.
Before you even start to think about the musical impact the keyboard will have, think about the obvious things. Like, how much space do you have? If your studio isn't much bigger than a 4ft x 4ft desk, then an 88-key workstation isn't for you.
A good studio keyboard has to physically suit your layout, so things flow well. Otherwise, working will become tedious very quickly.
If you have any kind of studio then you will have a favorite DAW. Whether it's Logic, Pro Tools or Ableton Live you should consider how a keyboard integrates with it.
Many keyboards have lots of knobs/sliders that you can assign to various parameters within your DAW. This means you can manipulate sounds/effects in real-time as you play without needing to return to the computer. Even simple transport controls on the keyboard like play/record can help keep your flow going.
So, think about the things that seem so obvious they often get overlooked. Don't spend a fortune on a studio keyboard if it isn't the best for your studio.
What's the best keyboard for a recording studio?
Keyboard workstations are the combination of a keyboard, a sequencer, and a sound module. They are very powerful tools for composition and usually come with 61, 76 or 88 keys.
Keyboard workstations allow you to record, arrange, and sample without a computer then export to your DAW. They can be used as a MIDI controller too, but for studio use, they are more often bought for specific sounds.
Workstations like the Yamaha MOTIF and Korg KRONOS have some signature sounds that are highly sought after.
The biggest reason to consider a digital piano is that it's built to feel and sound as close to a real piano as possible. If your main need for the keyboard is to record piano, then this might be all you need.
Most, if not all, modern digital pianos/keyboards will have MIDI capabilities too. So, if there are times when you need to use VST's or external sound modules, it can become a MIDI controller. In theory, this gives you the best of both worlds, a great piano, and a controller when/if needed.
The downfall of a pure MIDI controller keyboard is that it is not a standalone instrument. They cannot be used without a computer or an external sound module.
In the context of recording studios, this is also their best asset in my opinion. They are purpose-built to integrate with other hardware and software. While you can use a workstation or digital piano as a MIDI controller you are unlikely to find the same level of integration.
All keyboard types come with different options for the number and weight of keys. Again, the first issue is space, think realistically about what fits your recording studio setup. Secondly, having space for 88 keys doesn't mean you need 88 keys.
You have to think about what kind of recording you will be doing most. If you're a jazz/classical/film composer, then you probably want all 88 keys without using an octave up/down button. If you are a beat maker, composing hip hop or EDM tracks, for example, 25 keys could be perfect.
The same applies to the weight of the keys, if you don't need to record really subtle dynamics in your playing, then you don't need fully weighted keys.
The reason workstations and digital pianos are generally much more expensive than MIDI controllers are because of the built-in sound modules/engines. However, these days even professional studios use VST's and audio plugins more than ever.
It's personal preference, but in my opinion, VST's like Keyscape and Omnisphere from Spectrasonics are better in quality than any sound you will find in a workstation or digital piano.
In my opinion, the best keyboard for your recording studio is a good MIDI controller. Workstations are more of a luxury than a necessity in most cases. Digital pianos are great for playing piano but offer less versatility.
MIDI controllers, in general, are cheaper than both alternatives. You don't have to sacrifice sound quality because VST's are so good now they are commonly used on hit records. You have lots of options from 25 keys to 88, velocity sensitive to hammer action, fully weighted keys.
With keyboards like the Arturia Keylab range, for example, you have enough rotary dials and sliders to control every aspect of any plugin/VST straight from the keyboard.
For these reasons, I think the best choice for your recording studio is a MIDI controller.

Tag: Harlem
The 2010 Census figures tallied Harlem's black population at its lowest since the 1920s. Such broad demographic changes have left some New Yorkers, like Jacob Morris of the Harlem Historical Society, concerned about the neighborhood's future.
"Harlem was the capital of black America," Morris said. "But as demographics change, a city loses awareness of its history. I wanted to do something about it, before the composition of the community changed so much that they didn't care anymore."
Naming streets after prominent African-Americans connected to Harlem became a galvanizing idea. Morris pursued the first street co-naming in 2005; two years later, he succeeded. Frederick Douglass Landing was christened on Chambers Street in Manhattan, which commemorated the place Douglass landed in 1838, as a 20-year-old escaping from slavery, on his third try.
Since 2007, the Harlem Historical Society has helped almost 30 luminaries take their place on street signs all over the neighborhood—including (Anisfield-Wolf winner) Zora Neale Hurston Place and (Supreme Court Justice) Thurgood Marshall Place.
Morris is especially proud of the women the society has rallied to recognize, including civil rights activist Ella Baker, who helped launch the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. "If there was a Mount Rushmore for the civil rights movement, Ella Baker would be on it," he said.
The latest push is to honor James Baldwin. Morris said he and Herb Boyd, who wrote Baldwin's Harlem, came up with the idea four years ago to honor James Baldwin, but needed to pinpoint an appropriate location. They chose W. 128th between Fifth and Madison Aves., the site of Baldwin's elementary school. Because young Baldwin had a transient childhood, "the real continuity in young James' life was the school," Morris explained.
Baldwin's nephew, Trevor Baldwin, joined the campaign, and the resolution passed the city's traffic and transportation committee this month, with official news coming in early 2014.

For those who have read Hemingway's work, you know him has a very frank and direct writer. From the start, Hemingway places his readers in a true and detailed setting that may have developed in his early childhood.
The first fiction story Hemingway ever attempted has been uncovered in a home in Key West in the wake of Hurricane Irma. Staying true to his style, Hemingway did extensive research on landmarks and locations that are featured throughout the story.
Ernest Hemingway's fourth wife Mary compiled a collection of possessions from throughout his life. She took what was important to her, but left some boxes with Betty and Toby Bruce, family friends of the Hemingways. Brewster Chamberlin, a writer and historian had begun cataloging the Hemingway's belongings when he and Sandra Spanier discovered what looked to be Hemingway's diary. Easily overlooked, the notebook which had a torn, brown, water stained cover contained Hemingway's first recorded attempt at fiction writing. Sandra Spanier took a photo of Hemingway's story, written on September 8, 1909.

Wesley Johnson, dit Wess, né le  et mort le , est un chanteur et bassiste afro-américain naturalisé italien.

Il est surtout connu du grand public pour avoir représenté avec Dori Ghezzi l'Italie au Concours Eurovision de la chanson 1975 à Stockholm, en Suède, en terminant troisième.

Biographie
Né le  à Winston-Salem en Caroline du Nord (États-Unis), il a formé un duo avec Dori Ghezzi et fait quelques hits en Italie, tels que Storia di due innamorati, , , , , Nostalgia, , , Qualche stupido "ti amo", Il mio problema, , , Tu nella mia vita, Un corpo e un'anima, Era, Uomo e donna, Come stai, con chi sei, Amore bellissimo et Aria pura. Il était également chanteur et a joué de la basse pour le groupe funk-soul "Wess & The Airedales" dans les années 1960 et au début des années 1970. Originaire de Winston-Salem (Caroline du Nord), Wess a déménagé en Italie dans les années 1960.

Il est décédé le  à l'âge de 64 ans, à la suite d'une crise d'asthme, à l'hôpital de Winston. Sa fille , chanteuse de R&B, basée au Royaume-Uni l'accompagnait souvent en tant que choriste.

Dans une interview publiée peu après la nouvelle de la mort du chanteur, Dori Ghezzi a dit:

La période pendant laquelle nous étions ensemble, a été l'une des plus belles et amusantes dans mon travail. C'était une personne exquise et un bassiste peut-être pas conscient de ses grandes possibilités. Si je suis une professionnelle, je lui dois d'avoir appris le métier; il était l'artiste et j'étais la choriste.

When shopping for heels, it is important for a person to know what types of shoes are out there and which shoes are going to work out well for their needs. It is important for a person to know which heels are going to be a good investment of their money. When someone is buying their first pair of heels, they have to be careful in picking out shoes so that they will end up with a pair that they will actually wear and that they will enjoy wearing.
When someone is buying their first pair of heels, they have to make sure that they will be able to walk in the heels without falling down. It is important for a person to find heels that are just the right height for them to feel comfortable walking in them. A high heel protector can help a person walk confidently in their heels when they will be walking across the grass and other soft surfaces. These keep the heels from digging into the ground and tripping up the one wearing them. It is important for a person to look for heels that they can walk in and for that person to invest in a high heel protector for their heels so that they will be able to stay confident in all of the walkings that they do.
The one buying shoes for an event should purchase those heels that are appropriate for that event. If the event is a formal one, then the heels should be extra classy and formal. If the event is outside, the heels should be purchased with the thought that the one wearing them will be moving on uneven surfaces. A high heel protector can help make any type of heels appropriate for use outdoors. When a person purchases heel protectors for high heels, they can move across grass without issue. Heel protectors for high heels can help to make any type of heels acceptable for an event that is being held outdoors.
The one who is purchasing their first pair of heels should look for those that are made well. They should look for heels crafted out of a material that will last a long time. The one who is buying heel protectors for high heels should make sure that the protectors that they invest in are well made, as well. The one investing in heels or in heel guards for shoes should make sure that they are buying through a company that is committed to quality. It is important that a person purchase shoes that are going to last a long time and heel guards for shoes that will help keep the heels from getting too dirty or becoming ruined in any way.
The one who is about to purchase their first pair of heels should look into traditional heels and also heeled boots. They should know that there are heel protectors for boots that they can use so that they can wear heeled boots on any outdoor surface. The one who is shopping for a pair of heels and a set of heel guards for shoes should look into the shoes that are appropriate for the season that they are in. It may be smart for a person to purchase boots and heel protectors for boots or it may be smarter to stick with sandals or traditional heels. The person shopping for their first pair of heels should know the importance of finding heel protectors for boots and shoes, and they should consider both boots and shoes.

NZ Maori Council warns Greens Minister that land sales to offshore companies not on
Image: Greens Minister Sage
The New Zealand Maori Council has once again questioned the Minister involved in approving another deal that has seen a foreign owned company being able to purchase 20,000 acres of land to convert into forestry. Matthew Tukaki, Executive Director of Council, said that the move should concern all New Zealanders, not just Maori:
"Minister Eugenie Sage is obviously out of her depth and to be honest I openly question the Green Party making statements about protecting the land while at the same time allow it to be sold off to foreign investors. We are talking about a company potentially buying up farming land, converting it to forestry and thereby losing more opportunities around horticulture and so on. The claim that hundreds of jobs might be created is one the Greens might use as an excuse but in all reality is totally dumbfounding." Tukaki said
"The two major issue areas that have been identified by the UN into the future will be food and water security so what does this tell us about the Greens and their real approach to sustainability? The second thing I would ask is exactly where is the consultation with Maori on these issues? It seems to me as that the Greens like to talk up a great game when it comes to Maori engagement and so on but really where is it?" Tukaki said
"Maori and many New Zealanders are sick and tired of seeing large tracts of land being sold off and this is not the first time the Ministers fingerprints have been on this sort of thing. The overseas investment office has approved more than $2.3 billion in forestry related sales in the last two years. The Greens can't have it both ways – either you fight to protect the land or you sell it – you can't be both."
Tukaki and the Maori Council have previously stated that there needs to be a fundamental overhaul of the Overseas Investment Office and that includes the process around Ministerial decision making. It also includes more focus on Iwi engagement wherever the land is located:
"Iwi and local Maori should never be excluded from the decision making process." Tukaki said


How To Start An In-Home ABA Program - I Love ABA!
Behavioral Intervention for Young Children with Autism: A manual for parents and professionals by Catherine Maurice, Gina Green, and Stephen Luce.
This is a very important topic thats close to my heart. I love working with families who are new to ABA therapy or Autism. I got my start in this field working with families in rural or international areas who knew very little about behavior therapy, or the diagnosis of Autism. It was challenging and at times frustrating, but I learned alot. Today with advances in technology, research, and with Autism seeming to be the current "It" word in the media, its much easier for parents of newly diagnosed children to know what to do. Even if you never knew anyone with Autism before your child was diagnosed, its likely that you have read a book or article, or seen someone on TV discussing Autism. Yet despite all of that parents have so many questions about treatment options. Just type the words "treatments for Autism" into a search engine and watch how much information you get back. This mass amount of information can be hugely intimidating and scary for parents who are new to Autism.
This post is targeted to families who want to start an in-home ABA program for their child with Autism. In order to be brief I will focus in on critical areas: After the Diagnosis, Why ABA, In-Home ABA, and Maintaining Balance.
After the Diagnosis- Once parents are hit with the diagnosis of Autism, it is completely normal to go through a series of tumultuous emotions and a time period of confusion and denial. Even if you may have suspected something or had suspicions, there is nothing like the actual moment when someone confirms to you "Yes, your child has Autism". While reeling from this emotional blow, parents also have to evaluate and determine plans of action, tell family members, plan for the future, etc. For most families the weeks after the diagnosis are a blur. There are just so many decisions to make and no one can make these decisions for you. The doctor/psychologist/clinician who gave you the diagnosis cannot give you a "Recipe For Success" for Autism. There is no standard treatment plan. Many new parents ask me for one, but it doesn't exist. What you want to focus on is a therapeutic method that addresses your child's unique deficits and weaknesses. When working with special needs children the goal is to get them at their highest level of functioning. For some children that may mean they will always require significant care. For other children that may mean they will eventually be in regular education classes, and have hobbies and friends. The point is no one can tell you for certain.
Why ABA?- Once you have decided on pursuing treatment for your child now you have the decision of what therapeutic method to select. Just to name a few there are: Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Incidental Teaching, Early Intervention Services, Bio-medical interventions, Floortime, Physical Therapy, etc. The list of treatments for Autism is ever growing, and ever changing. Certain treatment methods are dropped and labeled as "fads", and other methods change and morph into something else. What is most important when deciding on a treatment method is to look at your child's needs. What skills do they need in order to have a better quality of life? Determine your child's needs and then select a therapeutic method that will meet those needs. It is important to select a therapeutic method that has empirical data to support it, and has been proven to work with specifically with Autism. Its nice if a therapy works great for children with speech disorder, but how do you know it will work for your child who has Autism?. The treatment method should also have a method of showing progress and gains, which many treatment options out there are lacking. Without data how do you know the treatment is working? If you are spending hundreds of dollars on a treatment, don't you want evidence that it is working? It is important if you are spending time and money on a treatment method that you are confident in its track record.
In-Home ABA- If you have decided on ABA as a treatment, you have a few choices available. Your child's school can deliver ABA treatment to your child during the school day, you can contact an agency who will send therapists to your home, or you can run the in-home program yourself. Obviously, the last option is the most labor intensive on you, the parent. However not every school offers quality ABA services, and not every family lives near an agency. Often times even if you do, the agency has a year long waiting list. Waiting lists in this field are very, very common because the demand is so high. If you are considering running your child's in-home therapy program, then great for you! I love to encourage parents to take charge and not to wait around for a spot on a waiting list to come available. That may take months or even years, and that's valuable time that you could spend teaching your child. To get started you will need to assess your child's abilities, hire therapists, hire a Consultant/ BCBA, and gather supplies and materials. As far as resources and supplies, you need to know what programs you will be teaching in order to know what materials you need. A great resource on writing ABA programs is: "Behavioral Interventions for Young Children with Autism" by Catherine Maurice. This book is amazing, and I haven't come across a more parent friendly resource. I am also a fan of: "The Verbal Behavior Approach" by Mary Barbera, that focuses on Verbal Behavior. Basically, Verbal Behavior is a form of ABA that focuses on communication and language being taught/increased behaviorally. I recommend both books, but if you are a parent just getting started with ABA then you should start by reading the first book (I promise, its an easy read). The Catherine Maurice book is more of a comprehensive manual that explains in great detail how to start, manage, fund, and oversee an in home ABA program.
Maintaining Balance- Once you have your in-home program off the ground, you may find that your household has become an ever changing flow of therapists, schedule changes, meetings, and chaos. It can be a strange experience to get used to having therapists in your home several hours a day. If you have other children they may resent the fact that no therapists come to play with them. Juggling therapies, hiring therapists, attending team meetings...it may all get to be just too much. Its important to remember to keep a balance and to stay organized. Running an ABA program is somewhat like owning a business. You need to stay on top of staff, keep up with progress, handle hiring and firing, make suggestions for performance improvement, etc. If you are organized it makes everything so much easier. Create a system that works for you and stick to it. As the in- home program is implemented and time begins to pass, consider hiring a BCBA. If you cannot afford to hire one to completely run the program, then you can ask the BCBA for their consultation rates. You can also ask if they have a sliding fee scale, or provide a discount if you sign up with other families in your area. I find that most families seek outside help when things start to go wrong or progress stalls. Or as I like to say, for "troubleshooting". I strongly recommend if you are having issues with your in- home program, to consult with a BCBA before you make any decisions. If you don't understand why you need a BCBA, I strongly recommend this amazing blog post, from Thinkingautismguide.com.
Below is a list of resources for starting or running an in-home ABA program. I hope they are helpful.
These websites are a great resource for parent-therapists who do not have access to, or cannot afford to hire ABA professionals.
I'd love to hire my own aba therapists for our daughter. Where would I even begin to search to find one? Ideally, I'd like someone with a bachelors degree.
I have a post that may be helpful, its called "Hiring ABA Therapists: The Interview", and it talks about how parents can locate and hire ABA staff.
It can be difficult to locate ABA therapists to hire privately (outside of a company). I would suggest using the job board on Craigslist to locate staff, or joining parent support groups to get recommendations from other parents. You could also search on college campuses for students who may need internship or volunteer hours, as many in-home ABA programs are staffed with college students. I think parents are the best resource for other parents, so I would recommend talking to other parents who are currently, or have previously used ABA services, and asking them how they located staff.

Consumer Alert - Beware of Relay Fraud!
The Consumer Protection Unit warns Alaskan businesses of a scam involving Relay phone service and stolen or fraudulent credit card numbers. The perpetrators of this scam take advantage of the Relay phone system, an operator-assisted phone service for persons with hearing and speech impairments. Operators "relay" calls by typing what is said to the person with a disability and by reading aloud to the call's receiver. Traditionally, Relay calls were made using a telephone and a TTY machine. Now, relay phone service is available through the Internet, and there is no verification process to determine whether the caller has a legitimate purpose in using the service. Fraudsters appear to be using the service to shield their true identity.
In a typical case of Relay fraud, the fraudster uses the Relay phone system to request a large order of merchandise for out-of-state or international delivery, paid for by credit card. The business receives the order over the Relay system, accepts a credit card payment, and ships the merchandise to the delivery address. Only later does the business learn that the credit card number is fraudulent or stolen, and has lost both the payment and the delivered merchandise. In a common addition to the typical scam, the fraudster insists on using its own preferred shipping service and convinces the business to use money from the total payment to cover shipping and handling.
A business in Fairbanks recently reported its experience with Relay fraud to the Attorney General's Office. In this particular scam, the fraudster pretended to be a building contractor for a church in Africa. The supposed contractor initially contacted the business through the Relay system, following up with numerous emails designed to convince the business that the order for construction materials for delivery to Africa was legitimate. The fraudster insisted on using his preferred shipper that would only accept payment in cash through a wire transfer service. The fraudster asked the business to add a shipping fee to the payment for the merchandise and to pay the shipper from that credit card payment. Fortunately, the Fairbanks business became suspicious when it checked the credit card number and found that the address the fraudster gave for the account was invalid. The business recognized that its new customer was trying to defraud it by getting the business to wire money and ship merchandise based on a fraudulent credit card number.
Ask for the customer's full name, telephone number, and address.
Verify the information given on the credit card by checking with the issuing bank.
Call the customer back using the number associated with the credit card holder's account, not another phone number.
Use your own shipping company, especially for deliveries overseas.
Relay fraudsters may also attempt to pay with counterfeit checks. If the customer pays by check, wait until the bank certifies that the check is valid before shipping the merchandise. Be aware that banks may release funds before confirming that the check is valid. You will be responsible to the bank if you spend the funds and the check is later determined to be counterfeit.
If you feel that you have been the victim of Relay fraud or any unfair or deceptive practice, we encourage you to file a consumer complaint. To request a complaint form, contact the Consumer Protection Unit, Alaska Department of Law at (907) 269-5200 or toll free at 1-888-576-2529, or you can download a consumer complaint form.
