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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have worked in the field of Autism for ten years. I thought I knew a lot but what I learnt today was a breath of fresh air and should be taught to all professionals working with ASD. Tan knows ASD better than any presenter I have seen. Thank you for a new insight!

Most other seminars are useful, but give nothing practical to take away. These seminars are brilliant in that the strategies can be used right away.

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.

Thank you very much! You seem very well organised and incredibly competent at what you are doing. It's great to have a presenter that is actually doing the work they are talking about.

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.

My wife has attended sessions at Fabic to help our daughter who has anorexia. My wife gets support for both my daughter but now herself. As I am working I’m not able to attend the sessions. My wife comes home and tells me what pages to read in the book to help explain her session. I now don’t feel like I am missing out and can also help support my daughter.

Great strategies for improving/assisting the lives of people we support plus implementing the sequence of Behaviour. Excellent and easy to understand.

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.

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.

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

I found this course really understandable and I could use what I had learned right away and put it into practice.

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.
