Tan was very knowledgeable and an excellent facilitator. Lots to take away for clients, family and MYSELF.

Well presented - Congratulations. Clear, concise and relevant. Presenter knew her stuff!

Thank you Tan. Absolutely wonderful and will aid me in assisting teachers/parents and students to gain more life. With simple, practical and clear guides and tables.

I first saw Tan present her one day workshop and realised she was different to anyone else I had seen present. I wanted to know more. I approached her and she told me about her staff mentoring programme. I now Skype Tan when I am having difficulty with my own clients and she is able to help me understand my client so I can support them in a way I was never able to before. I have also found that I am now much better at understanding and supporting myself which has allowed me to work more confidentially and supportively with clients. Thanks Tan.

I would love to see some of this as compulsory component of the training for all carers dealing with challenging behaviours, The course flowed extremely well, each part leading to the next and conclusion.

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.

I wish I had this knowledge years ago. It would have made bringing up my son easier on both of us. Bouquets to Tan, easy to learn from, very approachable, the subject was covered extensively but effectively. Did not doodle all day!

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

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.

I recently attended Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder by Tanya Curtis and wanted to say how informative and practical it was for me as a kindergarten teacher. On a personal note the methodology Tanya presented around behaviour was simple to understand and could be used in all areas of your life not just work situations. The day was well paced and Tanya's presentation was filled with amusing but very practical examples of how to understand and deal with challenging behaviours. The resources available at the workshop to help implement Fabic's 3 step process to behaviour change was awesome. This is a workshop that you could attend numerous times and still find it beneficial to your daily living.  Thank you, Tanya.

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.

The information was presented in a very clear and structured manner. One of the best presented workshops I've been to in a long time.

After doing some research I was advised of Tan Curtis and her company Fabic but it was the ability to work with me through SKYPE that first tweaked my interest. No more long travelling to get to specialists now I was able to access them in my own home. After an at home visit where Tan came interacted & assessed Connor, I started on my road to understanding!! I have undertaken one-to-one sessions with Tan Curtis since April 2010 and workshop courses with the Fabic team since July 2010.

As I am an intervention psychologist, i have a lot of theory, so the practical skills I have learnt have been great! ALL DSQ staff in accommodation should attend this course.

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.

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.

We just wanted to say thank you very much for the workshop you hosted in Melbourne this week. My husband and I found it very interesting and have already put in place some of your recommendations with our 5 year old son, who has severe autism, verbal dyspraxia & anxiety. He has responded well.
