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.

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.

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

Thank you. This workshop was very practical. A great template to overlay what can often be a very perplexing situation!

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. 

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

I appreciated the real life examples which were very easy to follow and understand.

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 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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
