What You'll Learn
A practical framework for understanding and supporting autistic individuals with minimal speech
Assessment of Cognitive & Daily Living Skills
Learn how to assess cognitive abilities and daily living skills to build an accurate picture of an individual's functional capacity — so support can be tailored to their actual needs, not assumptions.
Communication, Sensory & Motor Profile
Explore practical approaches for assessing communication across all modalities, sensory profile, and motor skills — and understand how each of these shapes behaviour, distress, and quality of life.
Reading Behaviour & Movement as Emotional Communication
Discover how to interpret behaviour and movement as a window into emotions — a critical skill when verbal expression is limited or absent, and one that can significantly reduce agitation and distress.
Support, Therapy & Live Q&A
Drawing on 80 years of combined clinical experience, Tony and Michelle will share evidence-informed approaches to support and therapy for parents, carers and professional staff — followed by a live Q&A.
