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

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

I would love to see some of this as compulsory component of the training for all carers dealing with challenging behaviours, The course flowed extremely well, each part leading to the next and conclusion.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
