INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Provide Positive Behaviour Support Using a Person-Centred Approach course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in identifying behaviours of concern, analysing contributing factors, involving the person and their chosen supports, developing positive behaviour support responses, monitoring implementation and reviewing behaviour support plans according to person-centred, strengths-based, evidence-based and rights-focused practice.

Providing positive behaviour support using a person-centred approach involves identifying behaviours of concern in objective, observable and measurable terms, working with the person to gather behaviour information, considering environmental, lifestyle, personal, health, relationship and past experience factors, and understanding the type, frequency and triggers of behaviours. This work is important because behaviour support must reflect the person’s choices, needs, abilities, goals and lifestyle preferences, while promoting positive change, reducing risks of harm, supporting communication and environmental adjustments, and preventing exploitation, abuse and inappropriate restrictive practices.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to identify behaviours of concern using objective and measurable terms; work with the person through functional or observational behaviour records; identify environmental and lifestyle factors; identify personal characteristics, health factors, past experiences, skills, limitations and relationships; identify behaviour type, frequency and triggers; involve people chosen by the person in observation, recording and planning; develop person-centred behaviour support responses; apply strengths-based, evidence-based and rights-focused approaches; develop supports reflecting preferences, choices, needs, abilities and goals; identify proactive supports using environmental and communication strategies; develop interventions that reduce exploitation, abuse and restrictive practice risks; plan critical and adverse situation responses; set implementation goals, timeframes, success measures and monitoring processes; monitor and review plans with the person and support providers; and report adverse events, coordinate debriefing, revise plans and maintain documentation.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can provide positive behaviour support using a person-centred approach by identifying behaviours of concern, analysing contributing factors and triggers, involving the person and chosen supports, developing proactive and rights-focused support responses, planning for critical situations, monitoring implementation, reviewing individualised plans, reporting adverse events and maintaining behaviour support documentation.
