24 FEL FLYER Communicating with Words
::: 20 March & 17 April 2024 ::: Robina, Gold Coast, QLD :::

Communicating with words and not unwanted behaviour

Presented by Kathryn, Senior Speech Pathologist
A workshop for parents, carers and teachers on how to work with a person to use effective communication with words or an alternative form of communication such as pointing to pictures, to support their participation in life.

As all behaviour is a form of communication, the focus will be on building skills to identify what unwanted behaviours are being used to communicate how a person is experiencing life. The next step, will be to support attendees to work with the person to help them communicate verbally, or via an alternative means of communication, rather than their unwanted behaviours.

This workshop is offered in-person at the FEL Training Centre at Robina, Gold Coast. It is not available for online attendance.

See Flyer for further details

Workshop content and details

This program includes four sessions over two days. The first day is a six-hour workshop presented as three sessions to learn the foundational tools when working with a person who transitions from using their unwanted behaviours to communicating using words, or an alternative means of communication. Day 1 will include presentations, activities and group discussion.

Following the initial workshop, a fourth session will be held on Day 2 as a follow up for participants to refine their application of the techniques presented on Day 1 and further expand on any topics as required.

Tuesday 13 Aug 2024 – 7:00pm – 8:00pm AEST (QLD Time)

Presented by Tanya R Curtis, Senior Behaviour Specialist
Location: Online (Worldwide)

Thursday 15 August 2024 – 6:00pm – 6:50pm AEST (QLD Time)

Poster 31: Common challenges for a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
Poster 32: Autism Spectrum Disorder – Life lessons

Tanya Curtis is well-known and highly regarded for her work with autism, and she will always maintain that a person is not their behaviour and that skills must not be expected but need to be taught.

These two posters detail the common challenges and life lessons for a person with an ASD, and while they do not apply to everybody on the spectrum, they provide more opportunities to learn new skills and gain self-mastery over what was might once have been perceived as difficult or even impossible.
