WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Challenging behaviour is communication. Understanding what a behaviour is communicating — and responding in ways that address the underlying need — is the foundation of every effective behaviour support approach. This course gives you that foundation. Across 3 modules, you will explore the function of behaviour, the principles of Positive Behaviour Support, practical antecedent and skill-building strategies, and the regulatory framework around restrictive practices in Australia's NDIS and education systems. This course is designed for disability support workers, education support staff, youth workers, childcare educators, and anyone studying towards a career in behaviour support or allied health.
