Designed for you

The courses are for those either new to supporting individuals that challenge or those who wish to refresh their skills and knowledge. All URB support courses have the scaffold of building on the truth that 'all behaviour is communication'. The one day courses will give participants the background and theory of how we behave the way we do - and how we can adapt our own responses to encourage different ways of communicating.

Understanding the Neuroscience behind Behaviours

The field of neuroscience has undergone rapid advances in recent years, prompted by significant innovations in brain imaging. These have yielded important insights about how the brain and nervous system function and develop. 
A key development during our first 3 years is the establishment of the body’s stress-response system. This lays the foundation for our social and emotional development throughout life, affecting our capacity to relate, love, learn and manage stress in healthy ways. 
Understanding how we can support those with Social, Emotional & Mental Health Difficulties and help them to adapt and find less challenging ways of communicating is at the root of our course content. 

Our bespoke courses can include:
Autism Awareness and Acceptance
Pathological Demand Avoidance  
Person Centred Approaches
Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support
Autism friendly environments
