e-learning course on Positive Behaviour Support

This online course provides an understanding of Positive Behaviour Support and the Multi-Element Behaviour Support (MEBS) Model.

Multi-Element Behaviour Support(MEBS)

Multi-Element Behaviour Support(MEBS) is an approach that acknowledges the idea that difficult behaviour is a language used by people who have no other way to relay their message. The behaviour becomes unnecessary when the behaviour finds a voice.
