About the event

Responding Well to People with 'Challenging Behaviour' and its Messages - Brisbane August 2025
This one-day workshop will encourage participants to understand more about the situations in which people with ‘challenging behaviour’ find themselves and to explore how they can best respond to support the person. You will explore ways to develop strategies with the person, so that, regardless of the level of their disability, they can better understand the motivations, effects and consequences of their behaviour. This workshop will involve information sharing, practical tips and strategies and learning through stories. It will not provide a recipe to ‘fix’ the person.

Topics covered will include:
- Defining and describing "challenging behaviour"Communication and its role in behaviour
- Understanding our part in the behaviour of others
- Practical tips for ‘making a start’

About the Presenters:
Ann Greer has over 30 years’ professional experience working with people whose behaviours are seen as challenging. As well as drawing on the teachings of Donnellan, LaVigna and Willis, most of her learning and understandings have come from her greatest teachers, people with disabilities themselves. Ann works with people with disability and their families across Australia to develop creative options and understand what’s possible in making a good life. Ann is the mother of three adults, two of whom live with disability.

For many years Rodney Mills was put into the 'too hard basket' because he was exhibiting 'challenging behaviours' on an almost daily basis. Rodney will share insights about living with autism and OCD and how he has gradually built a meaningful life where he is no longer defined by these labels and by 'behaviour'. Today Rodney is a teacher and trainer, has worked for 10 years in a paid job at the organisation that used to support him, and is now running his own business presenting to the community.

Who Should Attend?
This workshop will be of interest to anyone supporting a person labelled as challenging- whether as a parent, family member, friend, or in a work role.
