Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re here to help with information and answers about our services.

Yes. As a registered positive behaviour support practitioner, you can prepare and write an individual’s behaviour support plan. You can also work with other qualified practitioners, such as an individual’s therapist, to produce a behaviour support plan.

No. While behaviour support practitioners and psychologists can work together, their roles differ. A behaviour support practitioner has a particular skill set that allows them to focus on their area of expertise: providing positive behaviour support practices.

When you train with Specialist Behaviour, you benefit from a safe, inclusive space and an enriching learning experience, thanks to our highly qualified facilitators. You’ll also come away with positive, person-centred strategies that enhance the support you provide.

The three principles that guide a PBS practitioner’s work are person-centred, partnership, and planning. These principles form the framework for positive and meaningful care and support. 

You can participate in four levels of our behaviour support practitioner training: core, proficient, advanced, and specialist. If you want to gain more expertise as a behaviour support practitioner, check out our different training options.
