Autism Foundation Arvostelua 50

Faria's knowledge, especially in the profound autism area, is amazing. It's not just textbook information being shared. It's personal and lived through experiences, thus genuine and real advice!!!

Imagine I was told by my sons OT that my 10 year old will NOT be ready to toilet train until he shows some understanding of being soiled or until he shows indication of understanding the toilets purpose, thus they cannot add toilet training onto his targets through the EHCP.

I was not settled on this answer, because I knew my son will never understand toileting this way - through waiting and relying on him showing us signs of being ready, because he is severely intellectually disabled. So this advice was just delaying his basic need of being toilet trained. I was thinking the professionals are showing no help, but our children must have ways around their needs in 2025 rather than following the mainstream advice for neurotypical individuals around this topic, like come on!

Through my amazing friend, I was led to the superstar Faria. A mother with so much love for her daughter with profound needs and also love for other SEN individuals too.

After attending her toiletting course, I carried through Faria advice, especially the emphasis on routine to learn the skill, in this case of toileting for my non verbal intellectual disabilied son.

Ontop of already sharing so much information, Faria didn't just let me be and left alone, she responded to any questions I had post course and understood fully the potential harships and how to handle them, again showing her genuine concern to this topic and area in our vulnerable childrens lives. She's been a light in this dark time with her advice and knowledge, unfortunately knowledge which the "professionals" who have degrees in this field couldn't give.

Now imagine I trusted the "OTs" advice and my 10 year old son was still in pads just because I settled on that advice. Don't get me wrong the training was not easy and gruesome, but we got through it and it is possibleee!!! Ahhh I could write so much more but that is all I can share for now. But please give Faria's toilet training course a chance.

I wish I could copy and paste Faria around everywhere 😅🥰❤. Thank you so so much xxx

The session was very informative and clearly explained as a lot of information.

Very relatable

I took the 'understanding autism and behaviour' course yesterday and feel so much more knowledgable now that I did before. Faria is so generous with her time and allowed me to ask questions as we went through to relate the topics to the behaviours that I am seeing and potentially misunderstanding with my daughter. I now feel more empowered as to how I can resolve behavioural issues and help her to manage her emotions (and mine!) It was so good to be able to talk to an expert like Faria about some of the concerns and worries I have mother to mother and I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course to any parent who needs more guidence or feels out of their depth. Thank you so much Faria - you are an inspiration and your course has truely helped me.

Faria was incredibly knowledgeable and created a space where we could comfortably share all of our experiences. I came away with a much better understanding of Autism and ways to manage situations both personally and professionally.

I have enjoyed learning Autism, got to know lot of things, grateful to Faria for teaching us in the best way she could, it will be very helpful to us in our future as a carer, Thank you very much.

Brilliant autism awareness course

The is a really great, well structured, informative course delivered by an experienced coach. Faria understands the topic so well and is able to incorporate real life experiences into her teaching making the content more accessible to the audience. This course is worth every penny.

Incredible lady so kind and the most incredible knowledge. Faria is one in a million I am so lucky to have spoken to her and her courses and book is just amazing. Thank you so much for everything Faria

I was getting worried about toilet training as nothing was working for my 6 year old autistic son. I went on the training programme organised by Fari and was not sure if it will work for my son at first. I saw results within 2 weeks. We are still using the method to stay consistent but now my boy goes to the toilet on his own. I can not explain in wards how happy I am to see him come so far. This is a brilliant method and works for everyone.

This process worked for my 3 year old non verbal autistic daughter. The difference with Fariah’s approach is how she speaks with such experience and compassion. The free workshop (which can be accessed more than once, if needed) clarifies any points and is opportunity to discuss other people’s experiences in a very kind and supportive environment.
Highly recommended. Thank you Fariah.

Fariah's workshop was amazing, and really opened my eyes to the world of autism. So many of my own experiences simply seemed to fall into place as she was talking. Things that I had wondered about for so many years became crystal clear, and Fariah also gave me the tools to deal with things moving forward,

Faria very kindly agreed to do a workshop for parents within The Childrens Bladder and Bowel Service in Tayside . Farah's workshop was incredibly informative , providing invaluable insights and practical solutions for parents struggling with toileting training. Her expertise, approachability, and dedication to addressing individual concerns truly made a difference. The feedback from participants has been resoundingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the support and guidance received."
