<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“Medicine has become so technical, so complex, that we sometimes forget that there is a whole person there,'' shared Dr. Tom Hutchinson</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">, congress director and head of the Programs in Whole Person Care at McGill University. In striving for efficiency, the patient as an entity has faded from view. As a result, they are routinely identified as pathologies and conditions to be fixed, rather than humans with ailments.</span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A lack of resources combined with managerial struggles can understandably lead to harried workplaces where patient input is under-sought. But in being considered as a passive recipient of care as opposed to an active partner in the process, recovery can be compromised.</span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“The energy for healing comes from the patient. They need to feel validated - as a person - to get better,” reinforced </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Hutchinson</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">. So it is back towards this relationship and way of thinking the congress is striving for; one “medicine can either get in the way of...or else contribute to.” </span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The concept of <i></i>whole person care was popularized (though not coined) by Dr. Patch Adams, proponent of using humour in medicine, and focus of the film by the same name, powerfully portrayed by the legendary Robin Williams. When confronted about his unconventional approach to treating patients, Adams responded, “Is not a doctor just someone who helps someone else?” </span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This simple yet profound truth cuts through the efficiency and alludes to the frequently forgotten essence of medicine. The emphasis on helping and healing over curing and solving is among the take-away messages for the participants (be they fresh out of med school or with decades of experience), to return home, renewed and recommitted. </span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The message of viewing the patient as a whole was also evocatively expressed in the film when a woman suffering from diabetic complications was being examined by a buzz of med students. While discussing her condition as one would a chunk of marble, Adams quietly inquired from the back: “What’s her name?,” hinting at what medicine had become.</span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The Whole Person Care Congress seeks to directly address these issues, starting with a book launch on <i>MD Aware: A Mindful Medical Practice Course Guide,</i>discussing the need for humanism, self-care and compassion in medical education. This will be followed by a presentation by Dr. Gabor Maté. </span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">McGill is already ahead of other medical schools with its compulsory Programs in Whole Person Care integrated in its curriculum. To have both such a program as well as host this conference, adds further legitimacy to the concept. </span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In reflecting on the motivation for coordinating congresses such as these, Hutchinson</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">shared: “It is to remind practitioners - both new and old - that we are dealing with people, and they<i> </i>are who give what we do, <i>life.</i>” </span><span style="font-family: , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FR-CA" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Les 24-25-26 septembre prochain, OnRoule.org organise 3 jours de cartographie de l’accessibilité de 400 commerces du centre-ville de Montréal, dans le cadre du mouvement #1000joursAH. Le but est de faire un état des lieux de l’accessibilité actuelle des lieux publics et de rendre l’information disponible aux citoyens afin que ceux-ci puissent découvrir une multitude de nouveaux lieux dont l’accessibilité (souvent partielle) conviendra à leurs besoins, même si celle-ci ne peut convenir à tous (concept d’accessibilité humaine - AH). Une cartographie simple et rapide à mettre en place, offrant une solution complémentaire aux efforts de l’accessibilité universelle. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The<a href="https://ldmontreal.ca/"> Montreal Centre for Learning Disabilities</a> brought world-renowned special educator <a href="http://www.ricklavoie.com/">Rick Lavoie</a> to town June 1 to share his teachings in a daylong seminar with nearly 200 teachers, special educators, professionals and parents. Author Lavoie is known for his popular video <i>How Difficult Can This Be: T<a href="https://www.ricklavoie.com/videos.html">he F.A.T. City Workshop</a></i>, which allows viewers to experience the frustration, anxiety and tension that children with learning disabilities face in their daily lives.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With his warm sense of humour and gift for story-telling, Lavoie had the audience captivated right from the beginning. He recounted how he was punished often as a child due to his “tremendous” ADHD. The principal and I shared an office!” His experience, and that of a family member who struggled with learning difficulties, provided him first-hand insight into the challenges that children with learning disabilities face on a daily basis, both at home and at school.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lavoie’s morning session focused on strategies to help improve the behaviour of children, sharing powerful messages that encouraged participants to look at discipline and reactions to behaviour in a different light. He used the example of the “attention seeker,” who may be relentless and is therefore viewed as annoying and ripe for punishment. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease because the squeaky wheel needs the grease,” he said. “We can ignore the behaviour, but not the need.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">According to Lavoie, a child’s identity is completely wrapped up in school, and if he is not succeeding at school, then his impression is that he is failing every day. And, he is probably being punished for his school results and behaviour. Lavoie explains that direction should always be positive. “This hurt runs deep .Negative feedback stops the behaviour, but only in that iteration. Plus, the message gets lost in the fear and anxiety surrounding the punishment. Positive feedback changes behaviour. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Changes are gradual but the stress of failure is eliminated."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the afternoon session, Lavoie focused his conversation on strategies for educators working with parents of children with learning disabilities. He compared the struggle that some parents have with their children’s social issues with that of professionals with patients in crisis mode: their concerns must be taken very seriously, but the child or patient’s actions must not be taken personally. Lavoie said that learning disabilities are often characterized as being classroom problems, but they in fact have an impact on every moment in a child’s day, including sleep. He spoke of some of the 15 areas he identifies in his book <i>It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend </i>in which children with learning disabilities may struggle, and that by lacking in some of these areas, children sometimes break what he calls “social contracts.” He then detailed a process he developed called a “social skills autopsy,” which is a process used to analyze and correct a break in the social contract. With the child, he determines the cause of the break, evaluates the extent of the damage, and then gains knowledge which will prevent recurrence.</span></div>

One of his most effective analogies was the family of five sleeping on a waterbed. “They are all feeling the waves created by the movement of each member,” he explained. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lavoie’s teachings provide deep insight and direction on how to better the lives of children with learning disabilities and the overall health of the family. Stay positive, build on strengths, use “could” instead of “should,” and avoid expressing disappointment, because, he said, your child is probably already overly disappointed in himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That is the fundamental message in <i>The Autism Monologues</i>, a play written by Christine Rodriguez and directed by Jen Viens, playing now as part of the St-Ambroise Festival Fringe de Montréal. A follow-up to Rodriguez’s award-winning play <i>Dreaming in Autism</i>, which is an auto-biographical account of her own experience having a son with mild autism, this play widens the lens and brings audiences into the lives of more than two dozen characters, each impacted by the disorder in some way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The play consists of a series of short vignettes portraying the multiple faces of autism. From a parent dealing with the diagnosis and struggling to access services, to a therapist detailing the difficulties in her work, to a police officer describing the takedown of an erratic four-year-old with autism at a press conference, every scenario shows a real and raw look at the disorder. Distinctly Montreal, the play makes several references to local spots, government agencies, and reminds the audience on several occasions that it understands the nuances of the city and province in which we live.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The cast of five actors do a wonderful job in taking the audience on the journey with them. Most commendable are the portrayals of individuals with autism – from a nonverbal child, to a likable teen with Asperger’s syndrome lamenting the fact that he believes the disorder is responsible for his restricted iPad use – this play does a fantastic job in demonstrating how autism affects every one differently. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On its opening night, the audience was visibly taken with many of the scenes, with some nodding in agreement at the anguish of family members. At one point, an audience member shouted “just show them love!” in response to a scene with a character who did not know how to properly engage with a child with autism. Crying was audible during several dramatic scenes dealing with accidental death and suicide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This play does not sugarcoat autism and its impact on those living with it, and genuinely demonstrates the ripple effect it has on family members, caregivers and society as a whole. It is powerful, well acted, and relatable to so many.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">This past April during Autism Awareness Month, Edward Murphy teachers Ms. Alana Goodings and Ms. Cynthia Fugnitto decided to change things up. Their goal was to create programming that involved all students and staff, and give them the opportunity to get to know, </i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><i>understand</i></span><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> and befriend their peers with autism. Their creative, multiple programs not only heightened awareness about autism, it created new friendships. Here's what they did!</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Autism class teachers Ms. Alana Goodings and Ms. Cynthia Fugnitto initiated <b>Fun 15 with Friends</b>, a reverse integration program where mainstream students and staff spend time with students with autism to increase awareness and social interaction. Over 80 students and staff volunteers spent their morning recess, on a rotating basis, interacting with students in their two autism classrooms. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Goodings and Fugnitto held a sensitization session prior to starting Fun 15 with Friends, where Issues like how to be a friend and sensitivities that a person with autism may have were discussed. Each of the 17 “friend groups” created an artistic tree that was displayed on a wall board outside of one of the autism classrooms, symbolizing new friendships. Goodings and Fugnitto would like to see this type of initiative continue, and hope to do so next year.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fifty-eight Edward Murphy students participated in a logo contest to promote autism awareness. The goal was to have students think about autism and what it means to them, and put it in their own words and drawings. The logos were displayed on a wall board, and reviewed on May 10 by judges Krista Leitham, coordinator of the <a href="http://www.ascwalk.ca/">Autism Speaks Canada – Montreal Walk</a>, Wendy Singer, managing editor of</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.inspirationsnews.com/">Inspirations News</a></span></i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">, and Dolores De Michele, school secretary at Edward Murphy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arialmt" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hearing loss is not only a "problem of the elderly.” Our sense and quality of hearing profoundly affects every aspect of our lives. It is essential for language development, for communicating with others, and has a deep impact on both physical and psychological health. It is essential to talk about the prevention of hearing loss and to help people of all ages and abilities who struggle with it. And that is exactly what Journée Nationale de l'Audition du Québec, or JNA, aims to do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

But I also know that many feel that there is a heavy stigma associated with this,” says Surik. “Together, let’s fight this stigma and send as many people as possible to take advantage of the free hearing screenings and other activities on May 2. Together, we will build a better quality of life for everyone.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Camp
is a win-win situation for everyone in the family. It provides you with respite,
and the opportunity to spend more quality time with your other children. It
also frees you from having to think of activities to do so your child doesn’t
spend all of their time watching television, playing on the computer, or
listening to music. You may even luck into finding a great camp counselor who
can become your babysitter during the year. Your child is the real winner here
as she/he practices social skills, improves personal identity and makes new
friends while at camp. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sending
your child to a camp can be a frightful experience for you on many levels. Rest
assured, camp staff receive ample training on caring for special needs
children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

speakers at the seminar included specialists in the field who discussed key aspects
of transitioning from a variety of perspectives. Jennifer Grier, a social
worker at the Rehabilitation Program in Specialized Schools at the MAB-Mackay
Rehabilitation Centre, focussed on the importance of working with a strong
social worker who can assess individual and familial needs and provide support and
links to networks in a variety of areas - from personal care and medical
support, to sex education and changing self-awareness of the individual.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

meets with families three times per year starting as many as three years before

guides them in gaining important life-skills such as house care, vocational
skills, managing friends and relationships and health and social services.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: black;">Suzanne
Cloutier, Associate Director of Rehabilitation at CIUSS Centre Ouest de l’ile,
discussed housing opportunities for people with autism, intellectual and
physical disabilities. With waitlists for housing as long as 5-10 years,
Cloutier discussed other options like private homes, and even the possibility of
one converting their own home to house other individuals with disabilities.
Cloutier also touched upon the emotional aspects for parents of transitioning
children when rehousing them, including guilt and uncertainty, and the ways to
cope with these emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Award-winning American author Ann M. Martin’s protagonist in <i>Rain Reign </i>is fifth grade student Rose Howard. The 12-year-old is obsessed with homonyms and prime numbers. When her father finds a dog in the rain, Rose aptly names the 23-pound dog, Rain Reign. Coincidentally, the 221-page pocket novel is distributed by <a href="http://www.raincoast.com/">Raincoast Books</a> in Canada.</div>

Suggested for nine to 12 year-olds, this enlightening story is bound to enthrall educators and parents. The author acknowledges the insight she gained from Jamey Wolff, co-founder and program director of <a href="http://centerforspectrumservices.org/">the Center for Spectrum Services in New York’s Hudson Valley</a>. The Center serves students on the autism spectrum. The author’s captivating delivery and focus on autism are enlightening. Her knowledge and lifelong experience as a dog owner also come into play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Martin masters her protagonist’s voice and transports readers into Rose’s mind. We share the girl’s loneliness and pangs of frustration. Rose is on the autism spectrum. She is bright but quirky; therefore, unwittingly disrupts the class with verbal outbursts and inappropriate behaviour. In addition, her hard-drinking father’s employment issues, volatile temper, intolerance and financial woes complicate the child’s motherless home life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This human interest story is laced with intrigue. Readers may shed a few tears but they are certain to bond with Rose and gain respect for her compassionate nature. As a bonus, they receive a good grounding on homonyms. </div>

pedagogical day at Champlain College during which the halls would normally have
been quiet, the building was filled with excitement and activity as approximately
75 youth with special needs from five Montreal-area school boards came together
to learn, exchange ideas, meet new friends and take a small step towards an
exciting future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to be a celebration of the 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Adam’s
PACE, a joint Riverside School Board/Champlain College inclusive college
program. The students wanted an opportunity to learn more about issues that are
or will become important in their lives over the coming years; issues such as employment
and independent living. They also wanted to meet other youth with similar interests
and concerns. With the help of a few students, as well as a committee made up
of Adam’s PACE, McGill, CRISPESH and some members of the community, after two
years of planning, the dream became a reality. The program was set up, the
venue organized and the conference was set to take place. The commitment of
five Montreal area school boards (including Riverside School Board, Lester B.
Pearson, New Frontiers, English Montreal and Sir Wilfred Laurier) to send their
students to participate in the event made it official and the last details fell
into place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the most important
components of the day was the leadership and logistical help provided by twenty
students from Champlain College who volunteered their time to manage the day
and provide support to participants. They showed a welcoming spirit,
resourcefulness and enthusiasm and created a feeling of camaraderie amongst all
present. As was stated by a Champlain student who attended, “the learning went all
ways today – everyone benefitted…everyone learned.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-size: large;">The Run’s coordination team deserves special
mention for their innovativeness, dispatching volunteers to their designated
stations using moving vans, out of which volunteers leaped like members of a
SWAT team. Swiftly pitching tents, keeping runners hydrated with water and
electrolytes, they enthusiastically cheered runners on, reinforcing the
importance of their involvement. Cheering, “you’re all heroes” and “do it for
the families”, runners pushed beyond their limits, motivated by the
transformative work WIAIH does. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Fun Run. Montrealer Louis-Philippe Garnier led the half-marathon with an
impressive timing of 1h17min53sec with Marie-Claude Le Sauteur not far behind
at 1h28min20sec. In the Kids Fun Run, Collin Ocean easily overtook the others,
covering the distance in 4min5sec, with Nellie Pilon Pointe-Calumet leading the
girls at a respectable 4min29sec. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and Dave McGinnis, kicked off the celebration on a high note, gifting students with
NHL 100<sup>th</sup> classic tuques, Habs flags and scarves, Youppi! dolls, and
two tickets to an upcoming hockey game. “Today we are honouring organizations
that do great work in our community,” said Denis. “</span>The players are very
active behind the scenes. They go out of their way to give back to the
community, most of which you don’t hear about.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s not uncommon these days to see a
Leanord Cohen song performed in tribute to the remarkable late artist. But on
the evening of November 15, guests at a benefit concert held at the Shaare Zion
Congregation in Montreal were treated to a very special rendition of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hallelujah</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-size: large;">The concert, held in support of The Centre
for the Arts in Human Development at Concordia University, featured
performances by past and present students of the program, all with special
needs. Cohen’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hallelujah</i> was
performed by Robbie Zunenshine and Joshua Benlolo, accompanied by guest
musician Jason Rosenblatt on keyboard, and it was not only sung perfectly, but
had everyone in the crowd singing along and visibly moved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-size: large;">A unique program in Canada, The Centre for
the Arts in Human Development is an educational, clinical, training and
research centre for individuals with developmental disabilities and other
special needs, that promotes personal development through creative art therapy
programs. Through art, drama, music and dance, students learn how to better
express themselves creatively to enable them to reach their full potential. The
program is in high demand, admitting only 20 students every two years and currently
has a waiting list. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-size: large;">If the performances at the November 15
concert are any indication, the talent pool at the Centre is overflowing.
Performances included an interpretive dance number to Justin Timberlake’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Can’t Stop the Feeling</i>, a performance of
an original composition called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Never Want
to Let You Go</i>, an homage to the Beatles and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Special guest performers included Cantors
Adam Stotland and Daniel Benlolo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-size: large;">The collaboration between the Shaare Zion
and the Centre formed several years ago when Eleanor Diamond, president of the
Shaare Zion Sisterhood, attended a performance by the Centre at another venue
and wanted to get involved. The synagogue Sisterhood has been sponsoring this
event ever since. In an emotional speech, Diamond said that this is a cause
about which she is passionate, and that throughout the years, she has seen
major changes in the participants’ lives through the Centre. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We all want our children and students to thrive. But how do we accomplish this? What conditions are required for a child to reach his or her full potential? What experiences are essential to the unfolding of human potential regardless of the challenges a child may face?</span> </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Answer:</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Hi. Thank
you for your question. I want to say that it is courageous of you to ask for
help. Lots of people with and without autism have trouble navigating the
world of dating and sex. I also want to say that many individuals with autism
have dated and have found pleasure and happiness in relationships with the
right person. So your autism may bring some challenges but does not have to
limit you in this area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">To get you
ready for dating, it would be important to work on those skills that may be a
challenge for you. Dating largely relies on communication (verbal and
non-verbal), and social skills. You should work on starting a conversation,
maintaining eye contact, expressing interest, appropriate topics of conversation,
how to understand and read body language, and how to be aware of your own body
language. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">If you have
questions, ask a trained educator, a
coach, or a trusted friend for help. Choose someone who you feel will give you
honest and open feedback. Ask them to rehearse some of these skills with you so
you can apply them when you meet the right person for you to date. Remember
that there are many ways to learn a new set of skills; some people learn by
intuition and others need more concrete instruction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">You can also
work on body awareness, any sensory issues you may have (light or hard
squeezes, being touched in a certain place or way) and what gives you pleasure
and does not. We all need to be able to express these limits to a potential
partner. It is also important to read up on safety and sex, such as preventing
pregnancy (if this is possible and not intended), as well as reducing the risk
for sexually transmitted infections. There are many reliable sites that can
explain safer sex practices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

meeting someone goes, this is a hard one for most people, so you are not alone!
In today’s age, online seems to be a key method. There are several sites that
help match you based on interests and other factors. One benefit here is that
this method will give you time to get to know someone through emails and chats
before meeting in person. The downside here is that there are some cases where
people claim to be individuals they are not. So caution always needs to be
taken. I would read some Tips for Online Dating before starting this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

not for you, then lots of people meet each other via shared interested and
activity groups, like cooking classes, the gym, or religious gatherings. So
joining a new group may be a prime way to meet new people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

meet someone new, it will be up to you to disclose your autism or not. Most
people wait a few meetings before sharing such personal information with a new
person. But if you plan to date the person then letting them know about autism
may be helpful for the relationship so they better understand you, and some possible
difficulties with social situations, communication, and/or sensory issues if you
experience them. Remember that relationships take time to build. But the
strongest ones are rooted in honesty, respect, and friendship. Good sex is
usually born from this.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">Team Caravela participants are
not new to the sport. As the first dragon boat team in Quebec to include blind
and partially-sighted paddlers, Caravela has garnered quite respectable
rankings in its four years as a community team. They most recently paddled in
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">McAuslan Cup</i> (June 17) where they
beat sighted teams in their division (gleefully referred to as ‘sighties’),
attaining their personal best time of 55 seconds for a 200m race. Sighted
paddler sub Angela Lowson remarks: “The thing that struck me is how competitive
these paddlers are.” Indeed, they are not here just for fun. The Caravela
paddlers are <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=670683487939045027" name="_GoBack"></a>intent on improving their performance and timings.

Competing in a technical sport such as dragon boating takes a lot of commitment
and grit. The team paddles in all types of weather, and contends with
challenges such as wobbly docks and carelessly strewn-about life vests. A sport
that is both physically and mentally demanding, Team Caravela uses minor
adaptations such as auditory cues and being physically positioned by the coach
rather than visual demonstrations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Over the past four years, this class of eight students in wheelchairs has donated over $6,000.00 to the Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH). They are passionate about giving back to the hospital that provided them with excellent care. </span></div>

the official launch of the Jackson-Jay Foundation on June 1, 2017. Named after
his five-year-old autistic son, the foundation’s mission is to offer financial

<span style="font-size: large;">An emotional Lessard kicked off the festive evening by
unveiling a big project his foundation aims to undertake: the development of residential
communities for semi-autonomous autistic adults aged 18 and over. The
communities will be made up of multiple quadruplexes, each with four units for
rent. After five years, the tenant is given the option to purchase the unit,
allowing “the individual to acquire a guaranteed financial asset,” according
Lessard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

will house restaurants, sport complexes and more, allowing a common space for the
occupants to socialize and even take life-skills classes in the evenings. Dedicated
specialists and therapists will be onsite for support and to help residents. The
foundation will team with local businesses and corporations to guarantee jobs
for the residents, although job opportunities will also be available within the
complex. The goal of these unique neighbourhoods is to ease the burden placed on
parents caring for adults with autism by creating an environment where their grown
children can live independently while being well cared for. </span></div>

its many,” says Lessard, adding that although he cannot yet reveal the
locations, they will be popping up throughout the country, including Quebec and
Ontario. “We’re working with national corporate partners right now.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

raise the funds necessary to support the cause so dear to Lessard’s heart. He
and his wife, Maude, learned their son was autistic when he was two years old.
They have been proactive in getting him early intervention.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Two years ago, they held a private
fundraiser that brought in $90,000 to help pay for Jackson-Jay’s therapies at

Our team is 35 members strong. Some are English Montreal School Board employees, some are lovers of Inspirations. Some come from the Lester B. Pearson School Board, while others are from Laval. We've covered the island, and are not only raising funds for Inspirations, we're spreading the word about <i><a href="http://(www.inspirationsnews.com)" target="_blank">Inspirations</a>, </i>the work that we do to support people with special needs, and sensitizing the public to the importance of inclusion. <span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;"><i>Inspirations</i></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;"> is the hub of special needs news in the Greater Montreal and surrounding areas, providing a voice to people with special needs and a valuable platform for collaboration and sharing of resources. </span></span></div>

Jay is a columnist for <i>Inspirations</i>, sharing insightful life messages with each edition that inform, encourage, and inspire people with and without limitations.

<span style="font-size: large;">By applying to be curators, guardians can manage their young
adult’s (over the age of 18) financial affairs and benefit from government
matching savings plans, as well as tax credits and deductions on specialized expenses.
With the proper financial planning, Leibowitz emphasized, parents can have the
“peace of mind” knowing their child’s long-term needs will be covered.</span></div>
