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.
