Understand the Child, Understand the Challenging Behaviour
In this 1 hour course we reflect on Dr Ross Greene’s observation that ‘Kids will do well if they can’. We consider the purpose and communication intention of challenging behaviour, explore how developmental delays and disabilities impact on behaviour and complete a case study using a developmental profile to create a Positive Behaviour Support plan

Child-aware practice
‘Child Aware’ practice is an emerging concept in Australia. It involves building an organisational and workplace culture that embraces a range of practices and attitudes that aim to keep the ‘child in mind’. This practice needs to occur from a client’s first contact with a service through to their follow-up. This course aims to enhance understanding about the impact that adult problems may have on children and to support practitioners to think about children early in any contact with a parent. It ensures that families are supported to make and sustain changes so that they can better meet the needs of their children.
