Training & Education

Behaviour happens everywhere. In classrooms, clinics, and at home. The right education matters for everyone.

Training that puts people at the centre.

No two settings are the same, and neither are the challenges that come with them. Amity's training and education is built around the real experiences of the people in the room.

Practical, evidence-based, and designed to leave every participant with tools they can use the moment they walk out the door.

The educational gap in behaviour support is expensive

When staff are under-educated and under-supported, the impact goes further than the individual. Overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and burnout follow. And the families relying on them feel it too. Amity's training is designed to change that. Building not just knowledge and understanding, but the confidence to apply it. So that every strategy recommended to families in need is backed by clarity, capability, and genuine skill.

When behaviour is understood, everything changes

Amity's training looks beyond the behaviour to the person underneath. Building the observational skills to read the environment, understand individual needs, and make meaningful changes that help people feel supported, heard, and valued. Because when those around a person truly understand what drives their behaviour, everything shifts.

Training & education that make THE difference

Amity's training goes beyond theory. Every session is designed to leave professionals with practical strategies and tools that can be applied immediately within their own context. For organisations, schools, and companies, training is built around the specific challenges being faced right now. Meeting teams where they are and providing the next step in their professional growth.

Tailored Training & Education for

The need to build knowledge and confidence in Positive Behaviour Support looks different for everyone. PBS training provides practical, evidence-informed strategies that can be applied in everyday practice.

Amity's training is tailored to suit varied roles, levels of experience, and learning goals, ensuring content is relevant, engaging, and immediately applicable.

Outcomes & results of Amity’s training & education sessions

Every session delivers practical strategies that can be implemented immediately, a deeper understanding of the why behind behaviour, and the space to problem-solve real cases.

Participants leave with more than knowledge, they leave with confidence and a plan.

Speak and Swallow recently attended the “Restrictive Practices and Speech Pathology” training, and it was incredibly valuable.

As a Speech Pathologist working in dysphagia, this training reinforced the critical importance of collaboration between Speech Pathologists and Behaviour Support Practitioners, particularly when developing and implementing Mealtime Management Plans.

A key takeaway was that safe, ethical care requires balancing risk management with autonomy and least restrictive practice principles, and that early PBS involvement is essential when behaviours intersect with swallowing safety.

Highly recommend this training for any Speech Pathologist working in the NDIS space particularly.
