This two-part online course is open to anyone working with people with a brain injury who want to increase their skills and knowledge of managing behaviours that challenge

• Have an understanding of the possible contributors to challenging behaviour following brain injury.

• Have an understanding of the development of both pro-active (preventative) and reactive strategies.
• Understand the role of communication impairment in challenging behaviour
• Be able to identify methods that can be incorporated into the clients’ environment and lead to the reduction in incidences of challenging behaviour.
• Understand the purpose of completing and collecting data around the incidence of challenging behaviour.
