Dr Vanessa Spiller was pleased to announce that she was taking a road trip to Tuggerah, NSW, Central Coast, to run two FASD training days in early September! This training was suitable for all professionals interested in learning more about FASD and complex neurodiversity, including:
- psychologists
- positive behaviour support practitioners
- social workers
- speech therapists
- occupational therapists
- teachers
- paediatricians
- GP’s
- justice and correctional staff
- case workers
- Out-of-home care managers and staff
This training included updated information about the new Australian Diagnostic Guidelines, including the Indigenous FASD framework. Participants also gained knowledge about FASD, including how it is diagnosed, but most importantly, how it can be understood from a brain-based perspective, and how this information can be used to comprehend complex behavioural symptoms such as confabulation, perseveration, aggression, and sexualised behaviours, among others.
The day included updated information and research about FASD and complex neurodivergence, but also provided a range of practical resources and skill-building exercises to help participants develop confidence in designing and implementing successful interventions. In particular, participants learned how they can use the “Ability wheel” to understand, educate, advocate and design brain-based interventions!
Cost = $345 (+ GST). 9am – 4:30 pm.
