These sessions are new and I will host one and advertise the dates on this website regularly. However. if you have a group wishing to book this kind of session for a group you organise, please contact me to discuss and book this.

• A Brief Overview of What is autism and Asperger syndrome?

• Being a Parent/Carer/Partner of a loved one with autism or Asperger Syndrome - how to look after yourself & your loved one)

All my workshops are experiential and are intended to be interactive and fun to give maximum impact on learning about how individuals with autism have reported to experience their reality of the world as well as my own experiences as a mother.

My workshops can cover:

• The first signs of autism and what you can do before an assessment to help your child
• How autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed (including Asperger syndrome
• Possible causes of autism (including: genetics; environment and the 'controversial' Vaccines) based on my MA Autism and more recent research
• The common and conventional interventions used and some of the more alternative and 'biomedical' ones (including diet and using nutritional supplements; Homeopathy; Meditation; Bach Flower Remedies, NLP, Reiki, Crystal & Sound Healing)
• Which School placement is best for my child? EHCPs & The Childrens' & Families Act
• Understanding Behaviours & Enabling Positive Communication & Positive Interaction with your loved one (Adult or Child)
• Sensory input & output: A new model for understanding and interacting with 'Autism' Thinking, Communicating, Behaviours & the 'Social Scene.'
• Strategies to reduce Anxiety and become calm
• 'Our Physical World Journey through Autism,' from diagnosis to this present day and the research behind the interventions my daughter has had and is still using and my reasons for using the ones I did and still am
• 'Our Spiritual World Journey with Autism - From Pilgrimage to University - Prayers, Faith, Belief & Answers...
• ANY OTHER TOPICS RELATED TO AUTISM & ASPERGER SYNDROME.....JUST ASK...

**Everyone is different and the intervention plan I design and use to help my daughter become the best she can be and fulfill her dreams will be different to a plan needed by another person with the same or similar diagnosis.

Every child/adult with autism needs an individualised, holistic, person-centred approach to reach their full potential and become the best they can be.

Interventions treat the symptoms and behaviours of a person and like medications no one intervention has the same effect or is safe for everyone; interventions need to be personalised and supervised.

My workshops are not for giving specific advice for individual cases and should not be considered to be so. If you would like a personal consultation for an individualised assessment and intervention plan please contact me for a private consultation.

Please contact me if you want to book any of the workshops below or  to discuss your groups/your organisation's workshop requirements and I will create a personalised workshop to meet your needs.
