Fantastic training session

Myself and my team attended a workshop on toilet training for children and adults with SEND Faria presents the information in an accessible and engaging manner-and really took time to check in with participants that they have understood a concept before moving on We appreciated how she set the session out in a clear methodical manner with slides and resources to under pin our learning The resources to support the session along with the book are brilliant- and again- are engaging accessible and informative in a manner that is not overwhelming Faria is very open with her own experiences which I feel really encourages people to be open and reflect on theirs this really adds to the session and develops the learning further We really appreciated the time took by Faria to really make us reflect and draw on our own experiences when considering how these methods could support others or our own children It really made us all think and consider things from a brand new perspective Thank you very much Faria

Toilet training and Behavioural workshop

I previously attended a toilet training workshop and a behavioural workshop hosted by Faria She is really professional and the workshops were very informative My 3 year old has recently been diagnosed as autistic I had no prior knowledge of ASD and how to deal with certain issues and toilet training issues with him Faria was so welcoming and such a kind hearted soul She answered any questions we had in the group and gave us first hand advice of her experience with her two SEN daughters She is also there for you after the workshop and are able to contact her about any concerns

Relevant and Understanding

It is immediately apparent how much Faria knows about autism through her lived experience I attended in a large group Faria kept everyone engaged and took numerous questions in her stride I have attended a number of similar courses over the years but Faria felt more understanding of the situations parents find themselves in and her answers and examples were easy to understand and relevant I would recommend attending for any parent or carer for so wine with autism

It was a privilege to have Faria take

It was a privilege to have Faria take the time out to hold an online workshop for me as I really wanted to attend the toilet training seminar but wasn t able to All I can say is it really is the best thing since sliced bread Her strategies are so simple yet I can already see how effective they will be with my son I ve read a number of books on toilet training but non have actually taken my needs as the parent into account as well as my child s needs After the workshop I felt empowered and confident that I will be able to do this I am in the process of getting together all of my tools that Faria has specified to prepare for the process Been through this process twice before with my neurotypical children but even then I didn t feel as ready as I am this time Thank you Faria for all of your time and efforts in creating and perfecting this method to share with us I have the book too which goes into a lot more detail Absolutely recommend both

Toilet training workshop

I attended the online toilet training workshop faria was really good and friendly she answered all my questions Thank you for everything

Autism workshop

I was so pleased to attended a toilet training and Autism behaviour workshop with Faria She s very kind and professional I Bought her book that teaches you how to train your child or adult to be independent with the toilet It was very helpful

Fantastic Faria

I am so glad I came across Faria s book about toilet training children with autism and additional support needs Faria even offered a FREE two hour session to explain in detail how to go about toilet training and the best ways to go about it She actually spent longer than 2 hours on the video-call just to make sure that everyone s questions were answered Her method is very simple and easy to follow Faria has first hand experience in this and she offers support that other healthcare workers cannot I got wishy-washy advice from well-meaning healthcare workers but Faria was able to go into the nitty-gritty detail of what to do and what not to do She is incredibly helpful and non-judgmental She is always happy to answer questions I highly recommend Faria to any parent who is struggling with toilet training or who has no idea where to start or how to go about it

Toilet Training Book review

Such a fantastic read very well written and the toilet training steps are easy to follow This book is extremely empowering for parents and cares I can see this book helping so many children in need their families Fantastic insight into autism and it s learning approach Definitely will be recommending this book to my friends who have kids with additional needs

Faria was brilliant

Faria was brilliant She was clear with the steps and explanations as to why the toileting needs to be set up in such a structured way It was refreshing hearing lived and breathed experience of other parents in similar situations with their loved ones It s a struggle that goes unnoticed and the advice from other professionals can sometimes cause more stress and harm to child or adult with additional needs Faria s suggestions go in hand with some of the strategies that I have started to put in place Her strategies are easily adaptable to suit whoevers needs with a bit of planning ahead I wasn t aware that there was resources available to buy I have been informing parents that her book is available online to purchase However I feel that alongside purchasing the book attending the workshop and experiencing Faria s enthusiasm and energy on the subject will give you that extra motivation to attempt the toileting again with a clear step by step guide
