Responding Well to People with “Challenging Behaviour” and its Messages

Cost:

• $50 for people with disability and family members
• $150 for workers, friends and allies

About the Workshop

• This workshop will encourage participants to understand more about the situations in which people with ‘challenging behaviour’ find themselves and to explore how they can best respond to support the person.
• Presenter Ann Greer will cover ways to develop strategies with the person, so that, regardless of the level of their disability, they can better understand the motivations, effects and consequences of their behaviour.
• This workshop will involve information sharing, practical tips and strategies and learning through stories.  It will not provide a recipe to ‘fix’ the person.

This workshop covers

• Defining and describing challenging behaviour
• Communication and its role in behaviour
• Understanding our part in the behaviour of others
• Practical steps for ‘making a start’

About the Presenters

• Ann Greer: Ann Greer has over twenty years’ professional experience working with people whose behaviours are seen as challenging. 
• As well as drawing on the teachings of Donnellan, LaVigna and Willis, most of her learning and understandings have come from her greatest teachers, people with disabilities themselves.
• Ann works with people with disability and their families across Australia to develop creative options and understand what’s possible in making a good life.
• Ann is the mother of three adults, two of whom live with disability.

Who Should Attend

• This workshop will be of interest to anyone supporting a person labelled as challenging, whether as a parent, family member, friend, or in a work role.
