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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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!

Very pleased with the course. Completely different understanding on how to help my autistic son.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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