Your Personal Best aims to support and guide childcare, preschool and kindergarten workers to identify children’s needs, further develop knowledge of neurodiverse behaviours, and learn to understand different ways to intervene, support and generate positive outcomes. Knowledge about autism spectrum disorder and other co-occurring conditions allows the educator to adapt programs, take informative notes and present information accurately and confidently to parents. Through professional learning, workshops and observations, Your Personal Best can tailor professional learning programs to suit each centre’s unique needs.  

Areas of focus

• What is autism? Why is it more prevalent today?

• Cooccurring syndromes such as ADHD & Sensory sensitivities.

• Observing play – Learn to use a Functional Behaviour Analysis sheet to understand behaviours and atypical development versus diverse development.

• What are evidence-based interventions? How and when to use them.

• Parent conversations with a united approach.

• Parent information nights. 

Your Personal Best can screen young children who may potentially have a disorder by observing them in play and learning environments. We give feedback for evidence-based interventions and developmental outcomes and provide parent questionnaires. Your Personal Best assists with analysing the results and writing anecdotal notes to present to parents.
