Behavior Technician Course
What will I learn?
Take your skills as a geriatrics worker to the next level with our Behaviour Technician Course. Go deep into understanding dementia, looking at the different types, signs, and how it affects people's behaviour. Learn plenty behaviour intervention strategies, including how to use positive reinforcement and how to calm situations down. Learn how to handle wandering, manage when people become agitated, and make intervention plans that really work. Work together with the care team, change your approach to fit each person's needs, and check if the interventions are doing what they're supposed to do. Join us so you can get better at what you do and give better care to your patients.
