As we become behavioural detectives, we develop an ever curious mind...
We learn to consider the neurobiological processes that occur within the brain, body and mind, which influence a person’s development, mental health, behaviour and well-being. We learn to dive deeper into analysing overlapping contributions of challenging behaviour, and invest more time into holistic theories of sensory intervention, attunement, co-regulation, relationship-building skills and self-care.
Real-world examples and storytelling are woven throughout to make the content memorable and meaningful.
''Past participants have shared that this course changed their clinical practice and their lives.''

There is always a reason for the behaviour!
This 2 day workshop will provide an understanding of the integrated neurobiology of sensory processing, self-regulation and relational challenges, that result in dysregulated behaviour. Participants will learn to be curious about behaviour and become lifelong behavioural detectives. Through adopting holistic clinical reasoning, participants will seek to understand why people do the things they do and develop their intervention planning skills.
With this knowledge, participants will strengthen their confidence in advocating for the people in their care and building empathetic understanding of, and compassion for, others.
