Courses for parents, carers and family members of autistic/neurodivergent children in Safe and Effective ‘Break Away’ techniques when faced with challenging behaviours such as hair pulling, biting, scratching and kicking.

Recently, I’ve received a lot of messages from parents and carers who are faced with challenging behaviour asking for advice on how to safely deal with biting, kicking, scratching and hair pulling.

As a result, I went to speak to an amazing team of people I know who train organisations including NHS staff and university students in safe ‘break away’ techniques.

We went through our darkest times in Bodhi’s bubble of autism and ADHD when he was younger and still totally non-verbal. We would be faced daily with biting, scratching, kicking and hair pulling. I approached this team as they trained us as university students, and they taught me and Charlie how to safely deal with these things by keeping Bodhi and us safe, and these techniques absolutely work, both Charlie and I have used these techniques effectively! Luckily, we don’t have these ‘challenging behaviours’ hardly at all now as Bodhi has grown and evolved so much now he’s able to recognise, deal and cope with his emotions!

The team have agreed to put a short course together for parents and carers who are faced with challenging behaviour including biting, scratching, kicking and hair pulling showing you how to keep everyone safe and use the ‘break away’ techniques.

If you are a parent, carer or know a family member who would benefit and would like to sign up for a course please comment below ‘interested’ or send me a message to maintain privacy and we will get a venue, times, dates etc arranged. If you’re local to Dorset there will be an opportunity for face to face classroom courses, and if you’re not local to Dorset there will be online TEAMS courses!

This may be just a screenshot to most people, however, to me this is one of the best and most priceless pictures, memories and moments I’ve ever captured!

This week I’ve been busy on a training course, which is part of my new job as a CAMHS intensive care nurse. Every day this week Charlie has done the school runs with Bodhi. Yesterday, Bodhi came out of school and the first thing he did was tell his Mum what an amazing day he’s had and then use his Mum’s phone to call me and tell me how excited he was for winning a gold certificate and was given the ‘Rainbow Dog’ to bring home for doing so well at school!!

When you’ve learned to hear a child who does not speak or make eye contact for nearly 8 years, this is one of the most epic pictures and moments I’ve ever captured!

Sunset training session with Frank the Tank!

I often train Bodhi’s best friend and autism assistance dog Frank the Tank at the airport when Bodhi isn’t around to keep Frank relaxed and calm around low and loud aircraft as Bodhi likes to spend a lot of his time at the airport, it’s his safe space!

This evening at sunset I had a fantastic training session with Frank who was on the ball as always and very eager to work. Frank took a quick break as he loves to watch the EPIC A400M Atlas coming into land! ❤️❤️🐾🐾
