Ms Kadayer's knowledge and skills in the area of Verbal Behaviour (VB) is extremely relevant in the field of autism and her continued presence within our community would be of great benefit to all families touched by this disability.

Mr Smith, Herts
Louise is very accurate in her analysis and catching every opportunity to motivate new learning - not only on the child's side but also for the "grown-ups" around. Our son's programming could not be in better hands.

Anonymous, Norfolk
Under Louise's guidance Omi has made significant and remarkable progress, his eye contact has improved dramatically, his periods of social isolation has decreased and he has begun to enjoy the company of others.

Dr Jones, Berkshire
I have known Shelley Brown for 6 months through the work she has undertaken with my autistic son. She has made a significant contribution towards my son's language acquisition and I have no hesitation in referring her to other families.

Mrs Christine Labios
Louise has provided us with hands on education and has visited our home many times to demonstrate with our son practical ways of interacting with him.

Dr ASM Ziaul Hoque
Louise first came to our home in December 2006 and within just four weeks we had seen remarkable progress in our 3 year old son.

Gareth & Sarah Squire
"It was a pleasure to have our consultant Shelley in our home for 2 days. She discussed strategies, demonstrated them, then coached us as we worked with our son. We were delighted to see an immediate improvement in our boy. We really look forward to our next consultation."

Wendy Kiefel, Australia

Families

Finding out that your child faces the challenges of learning, behaviour or even an autistic spectrum disorder can be a shock to any family. For new parents, the realisation that your child’s development may be impaired by a learning difficulty can be devastating news, especially if that is part of a congenital condition such as Downs Syndrome, or through an acquired condition following physical or emotional trauma.

This is why at Verbal Behaviour Consultants, we place the emphasis in working not just with the child, but with the entire family unit. Children with an additional struggle , whether their disabilities are severe or mild, face obstacles in developing social and communication skills above and beyond those experienced by children with typical developmental patterns. Often, the families of autistic children or those with behaviour difficulties feel isolated and alone, forced to face those challenges on their own. VBC challenges this concept, and has produced a service for the families of children with learning difficulties that gives them hope, and the reassurance that they are not facing this challenge alone.

Not only do we have a staff of specialist behaviour analysts and psychologists who can create a fun and constructive learning programme for your child, but we also encourage parents and families to support each other through our network programme. We can even, in some parts of the world, offer a sibling network for the brothers and sisters of children with learning difficulties, where younger family members can learn from each other how to cope with the difficulties of living with an autistic sibling or a sibling with an another delay or struggle and share their experiences. We also put parents of children with behaviour difficulties in touch with each other, so their shared experiences can help those whose children have been recently diagnosed with autism or other challenging behaviour patterns. By creating a link with others who are experiencing the same problems and issues, families who work with VBC understand that they are not alone. This creates a more positive atmosphere in which the child can develop and fulfil their potential.

If you would like to know more about how VBC can help you and your family understand more about challenging behaviour, contact us in confidence and speak to one of our advisors. You can also browse our website for further information on a wide range of conditions and behaviour issues.
