Kevin has been involved in the field of Autism for 20 years – as a teaching assistant, teacher (Australia, Birmingham, Kuwait, Warwickshire & Leicestershire), consultant (Geneva Centre for Autism, Toronto www.autism.net) - he has presented workshops on a variety of subjects related to ASD – across Canada, US, South Africa, Ireland & UK – he has developed this course to make it practical to help parents & practitioners. (Kevin is married to a Miramichier!!)

Course Content:

In this workshop the function of behaviours exhibited by our individuals with an ASD will be discussed. Participants will learn ways to analyse behaviour (Functional Analysis) to help them try to understand a function for behaviour. Once understood ways to analyse behaviour strategies will be discussed to try to problem solve situations, as well as looking at strategies to help. All ages will be discussed. There will be opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues. Kevin uses a variety of approaches in his presentations - Lecture style, group discussion, discussion of resources and video evidence. This course would be ideal for parents/professionals who are supporting school-aged children and/or adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder – Kevin has had experience of teaching at elementary, high & special school settings and has also worked with adults with an ASD.

Kevin hopes to make conferences in the area an annual event around Easter – he plans to bring up accomplished colleagues from the ASD World to Mirmamichi each Easter – more details to come. He already has had interest from accomplished professionals within the field for a 2-day conference in Easter 2014. More details at the conference.
