Face to face consultations are USUALLY only available in Melbourne from my consulting room in Melbourne's South East (although I do travel to consult at schools, employment services, day care centres, social services and residential care services).

However, when already on a public speaking tour or already doing lectures or workshops in rural areas, interstate or overseas, I sometimes can set aside a day to take bookings from a number of families for face to face consultations, provided a suitable and affordable meeting room for consultations is provided by the lecture host.

This means that although my face to face consultations are usually ONLY in Melbourne, that if you are in a rural, interstate or overseas location, then if your own local disability services provider books me for a workshop or lecture in your region, you may ask them to also help set aside an extra day and room and co-ordinate consultation bookings from families attending the lecture they are hosting.

 

I usually see families.

It is usual that they'll bring children with them but sometimes they come alone.

I am also happy to meet with grandparents and other carers and also consult directly with adults and teenagers on the spectrum as well as professionals and post graduate students seeking to better understand particular clients or autism in general.

I have worked with couples, seeing them together or being consulted by only one partner.

I have worked with parents on their own challenges.

I have worked with people with and without formal diagnosis on the spectrum and those who are anywhere on the autism spectrum or on its peripheries.

 

Face to face consultations in my Melbourne consulting room are $85 AUD which also covers the cost of hiring the consulting room.

The cost of face to face consultations booked whilst lecturing in rural, interstate or overseas locations will be $60 AUD (or local currency equivalent) plus a contribution to the cost of the room hire provided for that day.

 

Cash and cheque (with I.D) payments are possible for face to face consultations in Australia.

Outside of Australia, payment is made to the lecture host who then provides a single cheque covering the number of families who have paid them for consultations.
