Behaviour Support Interactive Training Activity | PBS Team Training Resource
Make behaviour support training more engaging, collaborative, and practical with this interactive training activity designed for behaviour practitioners, educators, supervisors, and support team leaders. This digital resource helps guide support teams through a structured, hands-on activity focused on understanding behaviours of concern, identifying possible causes, and exploring effective proactive and reactive support strategies. Instead of relying on a one-way slideshow or lecture-style training session, this activity encourages discussion, reflection, teamwork, and shared problem-solving. It is designed to help practitioners and educators create a more meaningful training experience where support workers, families, educators, and other implementing providers can contribute their knowledge of the person they support. This allows the practitioner to listen, learn, and understand what is happening in real-life environments, while also guiding the team toward more consistent and person-centred support. What this resource supports This activity helps teams explore:
Behaviours of concern in a safe and structured way
Possible reasons or functions behind behaviour
Triggers, warning signs, and environmental factors
Proactive strategies to reduce the likelihood of behaviours occurring
Reactive strategies to respond safely and consistently when behaviours occur
What is currently working well
What may need to change or improve
How the whole team can support the person more consistently
Why use an interactive training activity? Traditional training can sometimes feel like the practitioner is doing all the talking, while the support team listens passively. This resource offers a more collaborative approach by encouraging the team to actively participate, share their experiences, and reflect on the strategies they use every day. This can help create a richer learning experience for everyone involved. Support teams feel heard and included, while practitioners gain valuable insight into how strategies are understood and implemented in practice. Perfect for
Behaviour support practitioners

Educators and school support teams
Disability support workers
Team leaders and supervisors
Family training sessions
Staff workshops
