Who is the training for?
Mental health clinicians and other professionals working with children and adolescents (primary/secondary school) wanting to adapt their therapeutic practice to be more autism friendly.

Who provides the training?
Dr. Deeta Kimber, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with extensive experience in regional and remote Australia, has developed a user-friendly program called Tracking Better®. She has adapted standard mental health assessments and clinical care into visual and modular steps, making it easier for children, families, and clinicians to understand and use.

Dr. Kimber shares her expertise and resources in supporting autistic children, young people, and their families, presenting simple and practical steps that clinicians can implement with their clients. The focus is on addressing common challenges faced in childhood, offering autism-friendly tools that are tailored to their specific needs.

What does the training include?
Learn how to identify autism in your clients and explore how their unique differences in communication, emotional awareness, & social relationships can be navigated in an episode of care in a practical hands-on way.

Participants will engage in a hands-on experience, gaining valuable skills to effectively support autistic individuals and their families by using practical and helpful techniques.
