Positive Behaviour Support Training

A one-day training course for direct support workers run by the Learning and Development Branch of the Disability Services Commission. This training was developed in response to requests across the disability sector for accessible and affordable training for direct support workers in the metropolitan and regional areas. This training program was developed and adapted from the unit of competence “Provide Behaviour Support in the Context of Individual Plans” from the Certificate III in Disability and “Plan and Provide Advanced Behaviour Support” from the Certificate IV in Disability. The main focus of the training is Positive Behaviour Support, with a component on Restrictive Practices, and comprises a mixture of theory, practice, case studies and DVDs.

Training dates:

A two-day training course is also available on request for managers/coordinators in advanced Positive Behaviour Support (which focusses on developing Behaviour Support Plans).
