  • The Behavioural Model
  • Process of Behavioural Intervention
  • Behavioural Assessment
  • Stimulus Control Procedures
  • Accelerating Desirable Behaviours
  • Decelerating Non-Desirable Behaviours
  • Token Economy

Program runs October 21-23, 2013, and participants will receive a certificate of participation upon completion.

Course descriptions.

Day 1- Will expose participants to the behavioural model and the process of behaviour change. Through a series of anecdotes, exercises, and presentations participants will gain knowledge about the why's and how's of behavioural intervention and behavioural assessment. To conclude day 1 participants will be exposed to behaviour change procedures.

Day 2 - Will be focused on various strategies for increasing desireable and decreasing undesireable behaviours. Through case studies, exercises, anecdotes, and lectures participants will develop the skills necessary to successfully change behaviour and have the opportunity to design a behaviour change strategy for an individual they have identified from their place of work.

Day 3 - The optional final day of the workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to explore advanced applications of behaviour management techniques and strategies. The facilitator will work closely with participants to develop intervention plans for the individuals for whom they are responsible. Attendees will collaborate with each other to find and develop best practices for behavioural intervention.
