Positive Behaviour Support Planning

Professional Development In Focus Workshop

Suitable for professionals supporting individuals of all ages.

Do you wish you knew why people do what they do? Are behaviours of concernpreventing you from delivering the best support you can? Positive behaviour support under pins engagement and learning, both academically and socially. This workshop is highly complementary to the delivery of effective behaviour support, and the development of comprehensive PBS plans. Learn practical, specific strategies to reduce behaviours of concern and transform your practice, and as a result, the learning and engagement of the individual on the spectrum who you support.

This workshop develops participants’ understanding and skills in identifying
the functions of behaviours, modifying the environment, teaching skills, and
reinforcing and managing behaviours of concern through an interactive, hands-on workshop.

All participants receive a certificate stating links to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers or to the Allied Health Standards where appropriate.

Professional Development Workshops are designed for any professional that support an individual on the autism spectrum.

Workshop Definitions:

GENERAL WORKSHOPS are designed to give participants an introduction to
understanding the autism spectrum and provides workshop participants with the knowledge of key strategies to support individuals in a range of settings.

IN FOCUS WORKSHOPS are designed for participants who have a good, current
understanding of autism and are looking for a more in-depth understanding
relating to a particular area of the autism field. This greater knowledge in turn
provides greater confidence in applying strategies to support individuals in this
area. It is recommended that participants attend an Autism SA General Workshop prior to attending an In-Focus Workshop or Masterclass unless they have a good, current understanding of autism.

MASTERCLASS WORKSHOPS are based on the concept that there is always more to learn. Masterclasses are short intensive workshops that are designed to provide participants who already have a sound current understanding of autism, with specific and extended content relating to a particular topic, strategy or program.
