“Absolutely life changing information..."
My daughter is 19 and I truly wish that I had access to this information when she was first diagnosed. Jackie is a source of encouragement and assistance. I would say to anyone thinking about embarking on the journey – do it for yourself and do it for your family."
“This course has guided me to a better understanding"
of my emotions when dealing with my kids, not only my son who is nonverbal and on the spectrum but also helped me dealing with my neurotypical daughter."
“It has already been invaluable.
I rang this place accidentally and it's the best wrong number I've ever called! My daughter's NDIS plan covered the cost and it has been amazing. We are only 3 weeks into the course and it has already been invaluable."
"Absolutely give this a go!!
It will change your life as a parent of an Autistic child! I've already suggested this information to my sister as my niece was recently diagnosed with ASD. It's changed my outlook on life and how I parent, I've already noticed some positive changes in my child."
"I highly recommend this information to all ASD parents
regardless of where you are on your parenting journey as we all need to review our negative thinking and our approach to everyone around us. This information will boost your confidence so that you can be the parent advocate you need to be but also enjoy the daily ups and downs."
"The changes I have noticed have been subtle yet significant.
I have used the many tools learnt along the way and my son has responded well to them, creating a shift within our dynamic. It’s been wonderful."
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this.
My biggest challenge was where to begin? I knew mine and my family's lives were in turmoil but where was I supposed to start? You were able to easily identify the different challenges we were facing and provided multiple approaches and solutions."
"I feel like I have entered a whole new world...
of information and possibilities on how to manage the difficult situations that we are faced with every day. I would highly recommend this information to any parents who are struggling with their own emotional responses and the emotional responses of their children.."
"This has been amazing.
I have learnt so much and as a result my house is a lot calmer. I am better able to handle my stress and anxiety levels. I recommend this to anyone looking for a change."
Why we are different?
We put the child at the centre
When it comes to understanding a child's behaviour, it is vital that we put the child at the centre of our approach. Every child has their own unique experience that shape who they are, what they feel and how they behave. From each child's personality, cultural background to family dynamics.
We take the time to truly understand
We don't rely on general theories about autistic child development, but truly take the time to understand why a child's behaviour makes sense. It is only by doing this that we can provide children and their families with the help they need.
We get what you are going through
Parenting is far from a straightforward task. It can be an emotional rollercoaster ride, and even with the best intentions, we may get caught up in our own story and overwhelmed by the challenges of daily life. But we understand that you want to be the best parent you can be for your children, and we are here to help you navigate through the ups and downs. We offer strategies to ease the journey and become the unwavering emotional compass that your children need.
