Thank you for your PBS training series. Best I have found so far.
Bennet
Loved the way this course was taught, it paired the theory and with actual case studies and visuals/tools of how to do this practically in a behaviour support setting. This solidified the concepts straight away. Including all the links after each section so you can go into each in more detail is so helpful. Amazing course, comprehensive, easy to follow and packed with useful tools.
