The ideal service provider?
Had First Aid training today, for work, and at the end of the day I got into an interesting discussion with a couple of co-workers. I didn't get to really expound upon why ABA isn't the best way to go (we don't do ABA at the agency I work for), and I definitely couldn't have done it scientifically anyway, but the chat got me wondering just what sorts of things I should be focusing on as I move through my career. I'm thinking again about school, and what I would study if I went back, as well as what kind of services I would focus on if I were to open my own agency and become a service provider.
I obviously have my own ideas, but I'm curious: what would you want in a service provider? As a parent, as an autistic person, as a professional in the field - what would you like to see being offered? Don't worry about whether or not things are already offered elsewhere - this is "in an ideal situation", what kinds of things you've been glad to see provided and what kinds of things you have sometimes wished you could access?

Odd you pose the question: I've been asked by people on the Finnish peer support forum to write an article along a similar line... basically what a support agency should be doing.
I'm going to have to think some on this and come back with some ideas....
