Workshop Feedback
βIt was all you promised – practical, fast moving, fun and motivational. You have a great understanding of ASD and a true talent for sharing your knowledge and passion in a way we can relate toβ
βMy sonβs teacher said itβs the best inservice she has ever had! She has had an epiphany! She understands it all so much better. She has some great ideas for the aide! She feels empowered and inspired! This is so great for all her future students tooβ
βI think perhaps Iβve just been struggling along trying to find my way not knowing where to start. I felt so well informed when I left the presentation, I learnt so muchβ
βI spent a lot of the day reflecting on my own teaching practise and came out of the workshop full of what is really just best teaching practise for all children, not just kids on the spectrum. You are a wonderful presenter and are a brilliant advocate for these childrenβ

Autism Courses and Behavior Management:
Why Take It? 6 Key Situations where our Autism Courses Empowers Teachers and Aides
Managing Outbursts or Meltdowns
When a student frequently has emotional outbursts or meltdowns, our autism course can provide strategies for recognizing triggers and responding effectively, helping prevent escalation.
Supporting Nonverbal or Limited Communication:
For educators working with students who are nonverbal or have limited language skills, understanding alternative communication techniques is crucial for engaging and supporting these students.
Handling Sensory Sensitivities:
When a student displays strong reactions to sensory stimuli (like sounds, lights, or textures), training can equip teachers with tools to adjust the classroom environment and reduce discomfort.
Encouraging Peer Interactions:
Β If a student with autism has difficulty with social skills or peer interactions, training can provide strategies to foster positive relationships and inclusion within the classroom.
Supporting Transitions:
Our autism course assists in classroom based transitions, like moving between activities or classrooms, helps teachers ease students through these changes with minimal stress.
Creating Inclusive Lesson Plans:
Our Autism Course Training helps educators develop lesson plans that cater to diverse learning needs, making instruction accessible and engaging for all students.
