 Welcome!

dazlious banner final Welcome to Dazlious - learning the language of autism 

We explore autism, focusing mostly on the sensory aspects and non-speaking communicating. Through our own experiences and that of others, we aim to showcase other forms of communication. This includes physical, audible- with various sounds, emotional and behavioural as well as sensory communication, which can be a major player of all behaviours of autistic people of any age.

We see the purpose in supporting our autistic children in the choices they make about how they wish to communicate, through their sensory experiences - looking at tools such as photo and picture symbols, sign language, communication aids and apps.  Opening oneself up to autism is like learning a new language, with many dialects and accents! All behaviour is communication including drawings, sounds, including humming, eye blinking and whistling to name just a few.

Sensory Processing is a large part of what we support, helping autistic children & adults to feel safe and at ease in their environments.  Sensory input affects all aspects of life and behaviour so finding ways to support these can make a person's life a joyful experience rather than a challenging one.

I have written my first book titled Learning the Language of Autism through the Senses -  Published and launched in August 2023 this book is now available worldwide (see details below).  This is the first of a series of books that focus on all areas of life through the sensory lens specifically for autistic children into adult life.

We invite you to look around this site and look through the articles on subjects related to autism both from our personal experiences and those of other autists. We value input from all neurodiverse communities and have created an opportunity to become a member,  We welcome guest writers allowing us to share experiences and ideas.

Mostly our aim is to eradicate the stereotypes, fears and myths of what autism is and to advocate acceptance of each person's uniqueness.  There are many support groups set up by autistic communities who advocate for autistic people which are full of wisdom and truths of what being autistic feels like to them personally, non-speaking autistic's are a large part of that.

The Origin of Dazlious...

 

 

We offer bespoke workshop sessions in a variety of packages designed personally to each environment and client need.  This comprises of workplaces, pre-schools, schools, colleges & universities accessible to anyone around the world via Zoom, and other media options as well as face-to-face. 

My workshops focus mostly on the sensory needs of an autistic person from birth into adult life - I include topics on Stimming and the purpose of them, particularly in relation to sensory overwhelm and as a form of communication. The need and importance of repetition and routine activities on a day to day basis.

I offer an interactive experiencewhich is especially benefical to a College/University student, enabling them to actively contribute to the workshop experience, this ensures the workshops are dedicated to your settings specific requirements. Perhaps College courses are needing a workshop that can work alongside their course content - which the students can use as part of their assessments and assignmentts as they reflect the needs of each of the course's targets and content from level 1 right up to Masters degree. Courses such as Early Years & Education, Psychology, Health & Social Care, Social Workers, Teachers & LSA's and HLTA, in School classrooms, Speech & language degrees and any courses that involve interacting with humans of all ages. 

Parents and Carers can benefit from my workshops as they offer detailed insights into each of the senses and how to interpret behaviours that give them real meaning assisting the parents and carers in supporting their children so that they can thrive in all areas of life.

Schools and Nurseries will benefit from the sensory workshops by receiving insights into the many sensory overwhelm and shut downs that can occur in many autistic children particularly within a busy and demanding School day. Tools and strategies can be highlighted that can be taken directly into the classrooms enabling students to thrive in their daily School life.

Maybe you need help with labelling areas with words and images or need auditory changes, perhaps the stimulation in your rooms are needing adjusting. 

Home visits are available to families and carers of anyone who is autistic, whether diagnosed or not. We can offer practical advice that can be useful specifically in preparation of any assessments and diagnosis processes - aiding you in gathering information to build your person's sensory profile.

Environmental practical help can make a huge difference when sensory needs are recognised so that homes and other spaces can be created to support the individual needs of the child or adult to help create harmony for the whole family.

I offer this experience because I wished for autistic people to be fully understood through their life’s experiences. A highly beneficial read for parents/carers who want the best for their ‘person’ offering unique provision for professionals in their wish to provide the best service for people of all ages they offer support.
