SUMMARY:Davis Autism Approach® Workshop UK timezone
DESCRIPTION:The Davis Autism Approach® offers a revolutionary five-day workshop designed for parents\, educators\, professionals\, and autistic adults seeking breakthrough strategies for support or self-understanding. This transformative approach focuses on abilities rather than deficits. \nA Neurodivergent-Created Approach\nWhat makes this workshop unique is its origin\, developed by Ron Davis\, a neurodivergent individual who is autistic. Unlike traditional interventions that focus on behavior modification\, the Davis method addresses root causes by working with natural thinking styles and perceptual talents. The approach recognizes the unique gifts that come with autism and creates lasting transformation through conceptual understanding. \nAddressing Real Challenges\nThe workshop tackles the frustrations families and professionals face: unpredictable meltdowns\, communication barriers\, sensory overwhelm\, limited progress with traditional interventions\, and difficulty with routine changes. Through innovative clay modeling techniques that make abstract concepts concrete\, participants learn to understand autism from an autistic perspective. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nThe comprehensive program covers \n\nDavis Tools for Orientation and Self-Regulation to help with focus and calm\nClay Modeling Techniques to establish foundational concepts through tactile learning\nSocial Navigation strategies to build meaningful connections\nIndependence Building strategies to foster greater autonomy\nAnxiety Reduction approaches to minimize meltdowns and stress.\n\nTransformative Results\nOne parent shared how her non-speaking son Logan transformed after the workshop. Within months of guiding Logan through what she learned\, he began reading\, writing\, and creating\, developed understanding of complex math concepts\, and gained confidence for new experiences like traveling and school trips. Participants typically report increased communication\, reduced anxiety\, better sensory regulation\, and improved social interactions after implementing the approach with their loved one. \nExpert Instruction\nLed by Cathie Geraci\, co presented by Richard Whitehead\, participants receive comprehensive support including a complete materials kit shipped to their door\, detailed manual and resources\, plus a complimentary follow-up session. \nInvestment & Registration\nInvestment: $1\,650 USD. Only 15 spots available\, workshops fill quickly. The investment includes five full days of interactive training\, all materials\, and verification certificate. \nJoin a community committed to honoring the autistic perspective while creating meaningful\, lasting change. \nRegister here \nLocation: Online  \nDate: 13-17th April \nTimes: 9am-5pm BST \nLanguage: English \nTo download a brochure please click HERE \nFor any queries please email: autism@davismethod.com

SUMMARY:Webinar: Behaviour vs Development: Why developmental foundations matter for autistic individuals
DESCRIPTION:When an autistic person struggles with a meltdown\, a refusal\, repetitive behavior\, the instinct is often to manage the behavior. But what if the behavior isn’t the problem? This free webinar looks at why a developmental approach to autism gets better long-term outcomes for autistic individuals\, than a behavioral one. \n                \n            \nWho this webinar is for\nThis session is open to anyone who is autistic\, or supports or works with autistic individuals: \n\nParents and caregivers looking for approaches that go beyond compliance\nTeachers\, therapists\, and support workers\n Anyone who has tried behavioral strategies and found the results weren’t what was expected\n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\nWhy behavior is often communication\, compensation\, or coping\, it is not the problem itself\nHow behavioral and developmental approaches differ in practice\nThe Davis Autism developmental framework: Individuation\, Identity Development\, and Social Integration\nWhat Davis-specific tools look like in practice\, including Auditory Orientation\, Concept of Self\, and our signature clay modelling\nA real before-and-after case example showing what developmental growth actually looks like\n\nBehavior is visible. Development is what’s underneath.\nMost autism interventions focus on what you can see: the meltdown\, the refusal\, the rigid rule-following. Behavioral approaches try to reduce or replace those responses using rewards\, repetition\, and prompts. That can produce short-term results — but the change often doesn’t transfer to new situations\, and it rarely builds the internal understanding that makes real independence possible. \nThe Davis developmental approach asks a different question: what developmental foundations need supporting? Behavior is often a sign that something underneath hasn’t been fully integrated yet. When you address that\, you get change that sticks. \nThe three developmental foundations\nThe Davis approach builds on three sequential stages. Each one depends on the last. \n1. Individuation — “I am Me”\nA grounded sense of self as separate from others and the environment. This underpins body awareness\, sensory regulation\, attention\, and self-regulation. In the Davis Autism Approach\, this is supported through Auditory Orientation and the Concept of Self. Without this foundation\, everything built on top is unstable. \n2. Identity Development\nLearning the concepts that help a person understand themselves and the world — not through repetition\, but through experience. The Davis approach uses clay modelling and real-life activities to make abstract concepts concrete and personally meaningful. This is where understanding actually forms. \n3. Social Integration\nThe ability to connect with others\, read social situations\, and respond flexibly. In Davis\, this stage addresses concepts like Another/Others\, types of relationships\, and a framework for decision-making. It can only develop once Individuation and Identity Development are in place. Trying to build social skills without those foundations is why scripted social responses often don’t generalize. \nWhat this looks like in real life\nFrom behavior to developmental growth: one family’s experience \n \nWhen developmental foundations are strengthened\, behavior no longer needs to be managed\, it begins to evolve naturally. \nYour presenters\nMelanie Curry: Chief Optimization Officer\, Davis International | Director\, Davis Autism International \nMelanie Curry has spent more than 15 years working with neurodivergent individuals of all ages through the Davis Approach®. As Director of Davis Autism International\, she oversees the organization’s global training and licensing from her base in Aotearoa\, New Zealand. A former international educator\, Melanie brings deep practical experience to her roles as Davis Methods Trainer and Workshop Presenter — and a genuine passion for approaches that build real\, lasting change from the inside out. \nAnne Mataczynski: Davis Autism Support Coordinator | Workshop Presenter | Facilitator Trainer \nAnne Mataczynski has been working with autistic individuals through the Davis Approach since 2005. Based in Wisconsin\, she helps families and individuals find the right support\, and presents Davis Autism Approach® Workshops and Davis Concepts for Life® Workshops to parents\, educators\, and professionals across North America. Anne also trains new Davis Autism facilitators and supervises autism trainees\, bringing over two decades of hands-on experience to everything she does. \nRegister free\nThis webinar is free to attend.
