Why take this course?

In theory, implementing effective behaviour support strategies, improves the quality of life of people with complex behaviours, while reducing and eliminating restrictive practices. Yet in practice? Without the right evidence, it’s tricky to access the supports needed. And the unfortunate result of this – we continue to see people without the supports they need to effectively implement the strategies in their behaivour support plans.

This practical 2 hour workshop will show you how to provide the right evidence for behaviour support – because a well written Behaviour Support Plan, along with a report outlining the support needs for a person, is essential. Done well, the right evidence can make sure the NDIA accept and recognise the support needs of a person – including behaviour supports AND essential core supports –  ensuring people can improve their quality of life, and reduce and eliminate restrictive practices.
