The company provides evidence-based solutions to the prevention and management of complex behaviours that challenge in people with developmental disabilities and other special needs. The focus is on increasing the quality of life and wellbeing of people who use services, and the accumulated benefits derived by carers and families.
The company was founded by the pioneering clinical psychologist Dr David Allen in 1999. David took a well-earned retirement from his post of clinical director in 2021 and has been succeeded by a new director of training services, Mark Hilley, who also retains the ongoing role of lead trainer. The underpinning daily demands of the company are served by our highly-experienced business manager Melody Kozlowski and training administrator Jackie Pellow.
Trainers are based around the UK and come from a variety of health, social care and education backgrounds for people with intellectual disabilities, autism, mental health needs, dementia and acquired brain injury. All trainers have significant experience in supporting people with behaviours that challenge. Their expertise ranges from practical delivery of providing direct support, senior management and clinical leadership roles across services – as well as relevant sector work in academia.
