Behaviour Management Plans

We provide specialist behavioural management consultancy to develop BMP's for individuals with challenging behaviour in the context of childcare, disability support, aged care services or directly to families as required. As well as assisting people to improve relationships and achieve better educational, work or quality of life outcomes effective and well documented support of behaviour that has become an issue is an important element of OHS management.

Our consultants will work with all stakeholders from the individual to parents, carers or employers to understand the nature, context and reinforcing elements of anti social or maladaptive behaviours. We provide written plans and tools to support behaviour modification and will provide training and support to parents, staff, employers or supervisors to successfully implement, monitor and review BMP's.

Behaviour Support Systems

Our experience with the management of care and support services in conjunction with our specialist knowledge in learning and behaviour makes us acutely aware that the best way to make sure that behavioural issues don't radiate stress and potential OHS risks through your organization is to have exceptional Behavioural Support Systems in place.

We will help you to ensure that your policies, procedures and ongoing training and support are effective when behavioural issues arise.

Managing Behaviour (Childcare/Age Care)

Our unique online delivery means that care worker's only need to find 1hr a week to attend their 'lecture' & approx. 30mins to do some follow up work.

Learning advantages - An important component of acquiring new knowledge is the opportunity to apply it. This is the most effective way to 'encode' knowledge or commit it to long term memory.

In typical one day sessions for professional development a care worker, teacher or nurse is out of action for a full day, has to travel to an unfamiliar place, adjust to the learning environment hope to take in everything in a single sitting and remember it when they return to work. By breaking our courses over a period of time with unlimited access to experts in their fields, an ongoing social context for group discussion, post session activities to undertake in their work environment and the opportunity to ask further questions and receive feedback in both a written and verbal format participants are able to encode their new knowledge at a much deeper level - at a very low cost.

Would you know what signs to look for and what to do if you recognised symptoms of ASD?

There is growing awareness of the increased incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in our community and the need for early intervention to ensure good outcomes.

As a childcare professional you will be familiar with the pattern of a typically developing child and may be in the critical position of being the first to notice when a child’s development is unusual.

This FREE workshop has been developed to explain exactly what ASD is and introduce childcare professionals to the tools to identify “at risk” children and what to do then.

Delivery:

1 hr Live Webinar

COST:
Free to Childcare Workers, $5 admin fee for other interested individuals.
