How to write Positive Behaviour Support Plans : Part 1
Two-day practical workshop
Writing a Positive Behaviour Support Plan (PBSP) is more than completing a template — it’s about translating understanding into ethical, effective support. This two-day workshop is designed for practitioners who are new to the PBS space, or who want a clear, structured approach to writing PBSP’s.
This training focuses on building strong foundations: understanding behaviour, identifying function, and developing proactive, person-centred strategies that actually work in real-world settings. You’ll learn how to move from assessment and observation to a coherent, detailed plan that prioritises dignity, safety, and quality of life.
Grounded in evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support principles and aligned with best practice, this workshop demystifies PBSP writing and replaces overwhelm with clarity and confidence.
What we’ll cover
The purpose and core principles of Positive Behaviour Support
Understanding behaviour through a functional lens
Identifying functions of behaviour and maintaining factors
Conducting and analysing functional behaviour assessments
Developing proactive, skill-based and reactive strategies
Structuring interim and comprehensive PBSP’s that are practical, person-centred, and defensible
You’ll leave with:
A clear, step-by-step framework for writing PBSP’s
Increased confidence in analytical thinking and plan development
Practical tools, templates and examples you can apply immediately
Greater alignment with PBS values and ethical practice
The ability to write plans that are clear, usable, and genuinely supportive
This workshop is ideal for psychologists, allied health professionals, behaviour support practitioners, and support workers who want to build strong PBS foundations before moving into more complex planning or restrictive practice considerations.
Please note: This course does NOT cover the use of restrictive practice or cover more complex presentations. This information is provided in Part 2.
This course is delivered both online and in-person.
