ways to analyse behaviour strategies will be discussed to try to problem solve situations, as well as looking at strategies
to help. All ages will be discussed. There will be opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues. Kevin uses a variety of
approaches in his presentations - Lecture style, group discussion, discussion of resources and video evidence.
This course would be ideal for
