Box 276 Direct Service Behaviour Consultants receive referrals from PDD Client Service Coordinators or Executive Directors of PDD funded agencies. Through individual consultation, a comprehensive assessment is done in collaboration with the individual, his/her family and/or caregivers, and appropriate professionals (medical, psychological, etc.). Based on the assessment, a behaviour plan is designed by the consultant and reviewed by a clinical psychologist. It is then reviewed with the client or guardian for informed consent. Continued consultation with the caregivers empowers them to implement the plan. The consultant facilitates liaison among professionals and program environments to make maximum use of the strengths, abilities and resources of the individual and the community in which he/she lives. Agency Consultation Since the establishment of Behaviour Review Committees in 1997, an increasing proportion of the role of the Behaviour Consultant has been devoted to agency consultation. Consultants now sit on 16 BRCs throughout the region - providing information and support to agency personnel to ensure the most positive behaviour supports and least restrictive programs for individuals are utilized. Training BOS provides in-service training and behavioural training workshops for agency staff throughout the region.
