Practitioner Level 1B - Next steps to PBS

We are eager to establish regional PBS Coaches Networks, and our aim is to hold meetings twice a year, at different locations. The meetings are invaluable Continuous Professional Development opportunities where you will, hear up to date news of CAPBS work - what's happening and what's planned, have a chance to catch up with other PBS coaches and colleagues, share ideas and resources and discuss issues and challenges, get advice from the CAPBS Regional Leads around driving PBS forward in your organisation, and support other coaches to do the same.

Good positive behaviour support depends on the quality of the behaviour support plan and how well it is understood and delivered. A PBS plan should be based on a functional behaviour assessment carried out by a practitioner who has the right level of training. On this programme participants will learn how to do a Brief Functional Assessment. This will include learning to complete a Functional Assessment Interview and how to use rating scales effectively. The programme will also cover reviewing reports, reviewing recording tools and undertaking brief observations.
