Community of Practice events

Do you have a passion for improving the support that autistic individuals or individuals with a learning disability receive?

Members of the community

The positive behaviour support (PBS) Community of Practice meet quarterly. It is a supportive community to share and learn from others who work with, care for, or support autistic people or people with a learning disability.

Anyone can join. You do not need to know about positive behaviour support.

Small steps

Session details

For this session we'll be joined by Nick Barratt from Medway Small Steps, an ADHD and autism family support service.

Nick will be discussing how parents and carers can break unsuccessful patterns of interaction and replace them with strategies that increase positive communication.

This can be challenging as humans are hardwired to react when things go wrong. This means we're more likely to respond to behaviours that challenge than to desirable, socially appropriate behaviour. Over time, these reactions can become routine. Nick will explain how parents and carers can overcome these habits and use better ways to communicate positively.
