Streaming video - 2016

The first lecture in Series 2 discusses a man named Michael, who displayed physical aggression towards carers during showering. The lecture commences by using the ABC model to understand Michael’s challenging behaviours, including the antecedents to, and consequences of, the behaviours. The lecture then outlines the Positive Behaviour Support Plan developed for Michael. This plan emphasises the importance of proactively managing the antecedents to aggression as well as developing skills to assist him to communicate his needs verbally and to increase his independence in the activity.
