25.01.2022 These could be helpful for sensory issues. Again this is not a promotion and all care should be taken if wish to purchase. https://edition.cnn.com//vans-autism-awareness/index.html

23.01.2022 An information session coming up in Geelong which may be of interest to parents and carers of teenagers or young people with Autism.

22.01.2022 With summer now on us, well almost, we are often reminded of the importance in our country of everyones ability to swim. I have just become aware of Autism Swim who maybe able to assist you or your child to learn to swim. As always I am passing on this information and this is not a recommendation it is up to you do to your research on the suitability of this program for you. Having said that it would be great if anyone has some feed back or can suggest other organisations.

21.01.2022 This is a wonderful idea for those of you who need to travel. I think they can actually be purchased as a kit but I think its mostly aimed for Americans. Perhaps for those of you arty and crafty folks you could make your own.

21.01.2022 Its wonderful to see shopping centres recognising the needs of children with autism who want to meet santa.

21.01.2022 While I dont want to appear that I am promoting a particular company, the move to having low sensory shopping hours is great for people with Autism who often have issues with loud music and bright lights in stores. Lets hope more stores become aware of the needs of those with sensory issues.

21.01.2022 This sound like a great opportunity for any children you know who might like to try soccer or as my husband calls it football!

20.01.2022 And before you know it school holidays are over and the kids are back to school. Which means I'm back at it as well. My bookings are currently out to March so if you know anyone looking to make an appointment for assessment please pass on my contacts. Hope 2020 its everything you hope for.

17.01.2022 A colleague of mine is doing her Phd if you have the time and would like to participate please click the link. https://researchsurveys.deakin.edu.au//form/SV_0ffVVkH26yu

17.01.2022 Im sharing this as it may be of interest to people. Please note I do not have any association with either presenter and it is therefore up to the individual to determine if this is an appropriate workshop to attend.

17.01.2022 This might be of interest for anyone with a teen or knows one.

16.01.2022 At 10.30 today Virginia Trioli will be talking Autism, so if you have a spare half an hour tune into 774 on you am dial, not sure if they are showing in on the ABC Facebook page, for what will hopefully will be an informative session all about Autism. Unfortunately I will be with a client so wont be able to listen but I will try and find a link for it if the ABC put one up and Ill try an post it here.

15.01.2022 New flyer ready for 2019 :) Please feel free to print and advertise around your local community :) Looking forward to seeing you April 7th :)

15.01.2022 Well we are nearly half way through March and I am opening up appointments for assessments in April!

15.01.2022 This is wonderful to see theme parks training their staff to understand the needs of their customers with Autism. In this case a young boy after a long wait and to finally get to the front of the line and be told sorry the ride has stopped working. The response from the staff member is wonderfull. I wonder if the Australian theme parks do the same? #wetnwildgc #movieworldaus Dreamworld Australia

13.01.2022 Its great to see a group set up to support girls with Autism.

12.01.2022 What a wonderful program, no child should be excluded from the opportunity of playing sport.

12.01.2022 Beautiful animation explaining Autism

11.01.2022 This is an incredibly disturbing finding.

11.01.2022 Goodness the year seems to already going by. School is well and truly started and I am now accepting appointments for Assessments for March. If you know anyone who is sitting on a waiting list please let them know that I have availability.

06.01.2022 Many people may have seen reports this morning about the link between c-sections and autism. Unfortunately, it seems the reports are picking through the research without taking into consideration all the information provided. Zhang, a PhD student at Karolinska, emphasized in an email that "our study does not provide irrefutable proof that C-sections CAUSE neuropsychiatric disorders." For example, "C-section is often recommended by obstetricians if the mother has diseases such... as diabetes, hypertension, etc. Some of the diseases might already have an effect on a childs brain development when he or she is still in the womb," the author said. A combination of factors may contribute to the risk, so "it would therefore be wrong to demonize C-sections. C-sections should continue to be used when medically necessary." I would like to caution everyone from looking at this research into C-sections as being the cause of autism as always, the media look for a lazy headline, while the reality is much more complex.

05.01.2022 Ok, so I know that I am on holidays but I saw this and just wanted to share. Its so wonderful that businesses are starting to recognise the needs of people with Autism.

04.01.2022 Great to see sports clubs recognising a need and responding to it. Congratulations to Geelong Rangers Soccer Club for running this program for people with Autism.

04.01.2022 This is a wonderful program from the participating Airports. https://www.melbourneairport.com.au//Hidden-Disability-Pro

03.01.2022 This might be a great opportunity for you or someone you know!

02.01.2022 I didnt worry, it didnt hit me in the face it actually explained a lot of things and it opened up doors. - Waleed Aly has opened up about his 11-year old sons autism diagnosis, describing the moment he and his wife found out as a relief.

01.01.2022 And before you know it school holidays are over and the kids are back to school. Which means Im back at it as well. My bookings are currently out to March so if you know anyone looking to make an appointment for assessment please pass on my contacts. Hope 2020 its everything you hope for.
