If someone who is living on an pension of $250 per week and experiencing a challenging behavioural situation, how are they able to pay $110 for one day to find out how to solve their problem?

February 15th, 2012 at 10:19 pmHello Maxwell
The booking form for the workshops indicates that they are aimed at people who provide services for organisations who may be assisting people with challenging behaviours and not necessarily those experiencing the challenging behaviours themselves.
To find out more, you’ll need to contact Special Education and Disability Services (who run the workshops) at http://www.educonsult.biz/index.php
