Positive Behaviour Support Training

By understanding a person’s behaviour, you can better meet their needs. Positive behaviour support (PBS) is all about improving quality of life, while reducing the occurrence of challenging behaviours.

If you work in the disability sector, aged care, health care or education, you may benefit from PBS training delivered by Scope’s experienced team of practitioners. We offer a range of PBS training programs that can be tailored to meet the needs of your business.

• Maintain quality and compliance requirements, including legislative requirements
• Reduce the need for restrictive practices
