At last a book with strategies we can use and not just theory. I bought this book to help with my job but within the first few pages I realised that there is so much to support with myself and my own relationships in life. Great work Tan, will look forward to your next book.

It felt like you were talking about and describing our students. So many light bulb moments and so great to hear someone else talk about difficult behaviour. Perfect! Please start up a clinic in Melbourne.

Tan has been attending a fortnightly staff meeting via skype to support us to case manage our students with difficult behaviour. It has been great to have her part of the team so we are able to review regularly our strategies and change them quickly when not working. Our behaviour incident with our initial child reduced  dramatically but we have also noticed our school suspensions have reduced.

The workshop was well structured - very informative with good examples and was very clear. Tan knew her stuff. Loved the examples Tan provided and she was able to answer difficult questions.

This book should be part of the university curriculums for psychologists, teachers and other health professionals.

We came to Fabic to get support for our Mr 8 who we thought was destroying our family. In the process we realised we needed support with our marriage, as it was the way we were with each other that was causing our son’s anxiety and tantrums. We had been to marriage counselling before but we did not click with the therapists we saw and didn’t really get any support. Tan Curtis was quick to identify the problem and worked with us both in a way that neither of us felt she was taking sides. She gave us understanding of ourselves and how to communicate with each other. Our marriage is now stronger than ever, and our son is now enjoying life without tantrums.

The practical application of the sequential approach was great. I would like to see this and the follow up workshop repeated on an annual basis. It will help me with staff coaching

This book is so simple to read and I can use the strategies straight away. I have read it from front to back and now it is like my bible, when things are tough I just open a page and there is generally something on that page that I needed to read today. Thanks Tan.

Thank you Tan for providing an interesting approach to an ordinary day in the life of a parent with ASD. I will be able to implement many of these strategies in our home.

The whole concept of collecting data is very useful to me. The thermometer concept is excellent!

I read this book on the plane home from Brisbane to Fiji after my sister-in-law gave it to me. I have suffered mental health issues for much of my adult life and I have not found anything to help. The quickest flight ever and I felt much lighter when I got off as I could feel like someone would actually understand me. Thank you Tan, an awesome book.

Excellent value and professional delivery! This was a wonderful course, applicable to everyone.

This is the first time i have experienced behaviour management that considers the opinions and needs of the child, as opposed to control.

The content of this workshop was very clear, gave great strategies and how to use them. It was adaptable for all levels of challenging behaviour.

My 12 year old child has ADHD and High Functioning Aspergers Syndrome. I was recommended by the school counsellor, to take him to see Tan Curtis from FABIC at Worongary. She helped me and my child to break down our days into easily achievable tasks with her simple processes. Tan has given him tools with which to interact with others. This has helped him to gain and maintain friends for the first time ever. I have had a lot of interactions with different sorts of "HELP" for my son, but feel that Tan really understands where his head is at and where mine is too! Thanks for your caring Tan.

OMG, there is hope! We have been to so many different psychologists, speechies, paediatricians and even a psychiatrist and no one was able to change our nightmare. When we were told to try Tan Curtis at Fabic we begrudgingly went thinking “just another waste of time”. Within my first session we felt so much better and like we were finally going to get the support we needed. The girl makes sense and we understand her! She knows what she is talking about. Thank you Tan Curtis, you are so normal and down to earth, but so knowledgeable and HELPFUL! Keep doing what you are doing. 

Many thanks Tan. A very informative session. I learned a lot about ASD.

Very Practical! Great handouts given and Tan gave an excellent presentation full of relevant information.

As a presenter, Tan was very calming and well presented. Lots of useful strategies and examples were given. Informative and not too technical.
