BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT PLANS

DURATION

15 minutes

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Managing behaviours of concern requires a thorough understanding of the underlying causes, including unmet psychosocial, medical, or environmental needs. This course explores clinical assessment techniques, behaviour analysis frameworks, and the development of positive behaviour support (PBS) strategies tailored to individual residents. Participants will learn to apply the least restrictive interventions, integrate sensory modulation techniques, and monitor outcomes to ensure safety and wellbeing.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

• Conduct clinical assessments to identify causes of behaviours of concern.
• Develop and implement personalised positive behaviour support plans.
• Apply least restrictive practices and minimise interventions that limit autonomy.
• Use sensory and environmental strategies to reduce escalation.
• Ensure documentation, consent, and escalation processes meet regulatory requirements.
• Monitor and evaluate behaviour support outcomes for continuous improvement.
