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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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. 

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.

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.

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 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.

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