Assessing – managing – preventing challenging behaviours

About this workshop

When a child begins to present challenging behaviours, the climate of the room can change dramatically. Often a considerable amount of time and energy is spent on the child with the challenging behaviours, which impacts the other children in the classroom.

Before trying to change the child’s behaviour, it is important to understand why they are acting this way so that the strategies applied will be positive and effective. Assessing – Managing – Preventing Challenging Behaviours is an interactive workshop that will introduce you to the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework so that you can effectively assess, manage and prevent challenging behaviours in children you support.

In this practical and interactive workshop, you’ll learn:

• The definition and characteristics of challenging behaviour
• What causes challenging behaviours
• The types of internalised and externalised challenging behaviours
• How to utilise the Positive Behaviour Support framework to identify proactive, active and reactive strategies for home, childcare, school, and community settings

Come along to this practical and interactive workshop that provides an expert blend of information, skills and strategies that will educate, empower and enable you to be the CHANGE in the lives of the people you support.
