The program has been demonstrated to significantly improve the skills of supporters beyond what is currently considered best practice in Ontario.
As a result, individuals with ASD/IDD get much better treatment and support as reported by measures of improved quality of life, learning, emotional well-being and significantly reduced self-injurious behaviour and aggression.
As part of the workshop, participants will learn to identify the primary causes, optimal prevention, and awareness-based calming strategies for deescalation for people who can engage in self-injurious behaviours and aggression.
The one-day training will be held November 22 or 23.
Community Living Quinte West is funding the training through the Kay Stafford Grant it received from the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation.
