The program was launched by Lynne Webber, Practice Leader, at the DPV CEO’s Networking Breakfast on Wednesday, May 5, 2010. The purpose of Positive Behaviour Support for Disability Professionals is to provide Disability Professionals with the important skills and knowledge needed to design a behaviour support plan that works to increase quality of life and reduce restrictive interventions.

The module includes information about the restrictive interventions that must be reported in Victoria to the Senior Practitioner, and the important components of good planning.

Anyone in the sector can access the DPV eLearning Centre and register for the program. DPV members receive a discounted rate of $49.50 with the non-member cost being $55.00.
