Positive Behaviour Support Workshop Series
These workshops are designed based on feedback from previous training attendees and people working in the disability sector.
This series of workshops will address the different components of effective, legal and ethical PBS interventions.
They are designed to be modular, meaning that each is a standalone workshop that you can attend without the requirement of attending the others.
Some preparation materials will be sent ahead of time.
Please see below details for each workshop.
Note that the times are in NSW/VIC time so adjustments must be made if you’re outside this time zone.
Recordings of these workshops will also be available on demand for 5 days after they take place.
Note that the recording is only valid for the ticket holder.

Workshop 2:
Functional Behaviour Analysis
Online, Zoom
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the gold standard approach to supporting people with disability who exhibit behaviours of concern.
PBS practitioners need to be competent in conducting functional behaviour assessment and develop data-based PBS plans with a central focus on improved relationships and quality of life for individuals presenting with behaviours of concern.

Workshop 3:
Positive Behaviour Support Interventions
Online, Zoom
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the gold standard approach to supporting people with disability who exhibit behaviours of concern.
A successful and ethical PBS program matches goal setting and interventions to the functional behaviour assessment and analysis.
This workshop will include drawing on a functional analysis to plan a multicomponent and evidence-based intervention.
A combination of presentation, case-examples and practical activities will be used to support the development of a tool-kit of intervention skills that can be applied in the field.

Protect human rights, meet your obligations, and lift practice quality. This workshop gives PBS practitioners and allied health professionals clear, practical guidance on when a practice is restrictive, what authorisation requires, and how to embed supported decision-making so that people with disability have genuine voice and choice. We work from real case scenarios and give you usable wording for plans, progress notes, and authorisation requests.

Workshop 5:
The Written Plan: Functional Behaviour Assessments and Positive Behaviour Support Plans
Online, Zoom
Positive Behaviour Support plans need to be person centred, comprehensive and useful to stakeholders across a variety of contexts.
Often, a written plan is also needed to meet the obligations of a funding body. Therefore, it is important to have skills in translating your functional behaviour data and strategies into a written plan that focuses on improving the quality of life of the individual with disability.
This workshop will focus on writing PBS plans in a way that captures the referral question, functional analysis and intervention/s.
There will be information on writing plans that are accessible across different contexts. A combination of case study examples, various templates and practical activities around writing a PBS plan will be used to develop learning in this important area.
