Service Description

Positive Behaviour Support Series workshop 4: Writing PBS Plans 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. Who is this workshop for? The series covers the core elements of PBS that are transferrable across all settings, including home, schools, disability support services, residential support settings, aged care, hospitals and mental health services. Given that consistency is key for PBS interventions to be effective, the more members of a team who understand the principles of PBS, the better. Therefore, this workshop is considered suitable for: Allied health professionals Psychologists Nurses and Nurse Practitioners (including Mental Health Nurses and Mental Health Nurse Practitioners) Support coordinators Case managers Disability service managers Senior support staff Therapy assistants Please note that a sound understanding of functional behaviour assessment and functional analysis is expected for those attending this workshop
