 Upon completion of this workshop, participants will have an understanding of the philosophy of Positive Behaviour Support and how it is applied. Through the application of Applied Behaviour Analysis, participants will be asked to challenge their perceptions of ‘behaviour’, to assist them to understand that all behaviour has a purpose.
Participants will also explore how a Behaviour Management Plan is constructed and applied, utilising principles of quality of life, strengths, least restrictive alternative, consultation and an holistic approach. Positive Behaviour Support has been internationally accepted as the proactive and effective way of supporting individuals who display challenging behaviour (Dunlap et al: 2000). Its concept is to improve both the behaviour and the quality of life of an individual (Carter Report, 2006, p.105) |
