Program details<br />
<strong>Positive</strong> behaviour support: Getting it right from the start - Facilitators reference manual 1<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this package is for participants to learn about:<br />
• the importance <strong>of</strong> personal background factors as they relate to a person showing behaviours<br />
<strong>of</strong> concern and subject to restrictive interventions<br />
• the interrelationship <strong>of</strong> bio-psychosocial factors and behaviours <strong>of</strong> concern<br />
• why people communicate or show behaviours <strong>of</strong> concern<br />
• the value <strong>of</strong> a functional behaviour assessment<br />
• how to provide positive behaviour support<br />
• the importance <strong>of</strong> self-control strategies.<br />
Participants will be provided with information on how to effectively support the person with a<br />
disability who shows behaviours <strong>of</strong> concern and be supported to consider practical alternatives<br />
to restrictive interventions, that is: chemical restraint, mechanical restraint and seclusion.<br />
This training package is based on person-centred principles which encompass positive<br />
communication and behaviour support. Staff competency in the application <strong>of</strong> positive<br />
communication and behaviour support is critical in improving the quality <strong>of</strong> life <strong>of</strong> people with a<br />
disability and in reducing the frequency, duration and intensity <strong>of</strong> behaviours <strong>of</strong> concern.<br />
This training is a mandatory pre-requisite before the provision <strong>of</strong> any protective behaviours<br />
training for staff such as Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Assault Response Training (PART).<br />
