Multi-Element Behavioural Support (MEBS) - 1 Day Introduction
This course is designed to provide a brief overview of Multi Element Behaviour Support, the terminology used, the philosophies behind the model, and to introduce the assessment procedures and the variety of interventions used.

Multi-Element Behavioural Support (MEBS) - A Short Course
This course is designed to support staff and families to conduct a comprehensive functional assessment and develop a behaviour support plan for one individual presenting with challenging behaviour. It is a competency based course, delivered over a 9-month period, and is accredited with the Dublin Institute of Technology.

Systematic Instruction
This course provides practical training in precision teaching and programme writing. Participants are supervised in the implementation of skills teaching programmes with children/adults who have learning and communicational difficulties, with particular emphasis given to learners with severe and profound learning difficulties. This course involves 3 x one day modules of lectures and supervision along with practical assignments over a ten week period.

Positive Futures Planning
This course is designed on the principles of planning with and for the individual. A futures plan is an opportunity for people to come together and share ideas about one person’s capacity to enjoy a good quality of life. The emphasis is on facilitating an appreciation of the person, on sharing a common dream of the future, on creative problem solving and on harnessing natural supports. This course is delivered in three one-day modules, with interim practical assignments.

Periodic Service Review
Periodic Service Review is both an instrument for assessing the quality of a service and a system for maintaining quality improvement over time. As an instrument, Periodic Service Review is quick and comprehensive. As a system of self-management, it is proactive and non-aversive, leading to practical goal setting and improved morale among staff teams. This course is a three-day course for staff teams. Each staff team will design its own Periodic Service Review, will implement self-defined performance standards and will monitor progress over the duration of the course.

Supervision of Behavioural Support Services
This is a 3-hour workshop designed for staff supervising behavioural support services. Positive Behavioural Support and Multi-Element Behavioural Support is presented and support and supervisory aids are discussed.

Key Workers Workshop
This series of workshops is designed to support key-workers implementing an Existing Behaviour Support Plan with an individual who presents with challenging behaviour.
