Child Development & Behaviour Specialists

ABOUT Child Development and Behaviour Specialists' core belief is that most challenging behaviours can be modified. For behaviour modification to occur, more emphasis should be focused on identifying and understanding the function of behaviour, influencing controllable factors, and implementing consistent, practical, and positive practices, instead of focusing on the nature of the behaviour itself. Child Development and Behaviour Specialists focus on evidence-based practices to build educators' capacity, skills, knowledge, and practices in behaviour and development to improve a child's behaviour, environment, and overall well-being of all involved. Capacity building occurs through presenting workshops, face-to-face consultations, building behaviour policies and procedures, training, and online support. Kelly is able to increase educators' understanding regarding concepts of behaviour, provide strategies when dealing with challenging behaviours, and assist with environmental factors to provide sustainable practices and environmental changes to foster positive behaviours and relationships. To support positive behavioural changes, Kelly can implement individualized and organizational behaviour strategies, plans, and procedures. These are established through observations, assessments of functional behaviour, and consultation with individuals within the organization to provide a consistent approach for educators to assist with the development of children, including those with disabilities, trauma, learning challenges, and complex environmental factors. enquiries@cdbspecialists.com.au
