Really useful information, both in terms of understanding the cause of meltdowns, and the strategies used to help with these. The questions presented covered practical situations and the experiences of both the child and the parent. Thank you.
Great information Thankyou
I support young adults with Autism and absolutely love my job. All our guys and Gals are non verbal, which makes our role even more complicated when trying to ascertain needs, triggers, is it a tantrum or meltdown. I’m fascinated by the various aspects and conditions associated with the Spectrum. At the age of 56, I’m still a student and keen to learn every day. This webinar was really interesting and informative. Thank you
Thank you, very informative and provided a greater understanding of ‘meltdown’, triggers and communication.
very informative information.
