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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
