A rationale for viewing challenging behaviour from a communication perspective will be introduced. The emphasis of the workshop will be on introducing participants to a variety of activity and ecological interventions as well as interventions to teach alternative communication behaviours.

2D. Introduction to a Positive, Non-Aversive Approach to Behavioural Support
This one-day course is designed to provide a historical overview of traditional and current approaches to behavioural support. The traditional behavioural/medical approach is compared and contrasted with positive, non-aversive approaches. Ethical, legal, and administrative reasons for using a positive, non-aversive approach are presented. Outcome measures that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of behaviour support are discussed in detail. The basic components of a positive, non-aversive approach are described, along with example of interventions related to these components.
Target Audience: Parents/guardians, family, friends and neighbours of persons with mental handicaps; social workers, residential, community, and vocational supports, child care supports, supervisory and training personnel
