TESTIMONIALS
“Simon’s streaming videos are a valuable innovative training resource that capture & hold the learner’s involvement throughout. Their interactive format takes consideration of a range of learning levels and styles, allowing the learner to have control of their own progress.
Simon’s great attention to detail in producing these resources is evident throughout incorporating alternating serious and uniquely humorous characters within each programme.
The range of materials included, from early learner topics through to very complex subjects not previously approached in this format, demonstrate Simon’s career long depth of knowledge and dedication plus his empathy and compassion for service users and learners alike.”

“I have been a support worker in Milton Keynes for over 20 years and I would say autism and understanding challenging behaviours have become my speciality. I have done lots of training over the years and then Simon came along and he was a game changer for me, his fun and engaging style is the best I have come across and his knowledge about various disabilities, positive behaviour support, and how to work in a pro active way with people has been invaluable, Simon also has a great understanding about the importance of a functional analysis and how to carry it out effectively.
Now known as The Behaviour Coach I would encourage anyone to access his videos on his new streaming website.”
James Joyce
PBS Trainer, Milton Keynes Council
I was coached by Simon on ABC recording, functional needs and how to proactively support my son through PBS planning.
Simon’s support has been invaluable, it really has opened up a whole new way of understanding and supporting my son’s needs. Now we are all enjoying family life how it should be lived.
Thank you.”

“Simon’s training was extremely engaging, interesting and very enjoyable. Wasn’t the usual dreaded generic training days people usually attend. Full of lots of laughter, fun, information and a brand new outlook when returning to my place of work, also in my own personal life with a learning disabled son I have applied the techniques at home too which have massively improved our home life ! Definitely noticed behaviour within the work unit improving and less episodes of challanging behaviour, an overall happier place to work and for the service users to live ! Always looked forward to Simon’s training ! He is extremely passionate about what he does and it really really shows !”

“As someone who has a specialism in PBS, Autism Support and behaviour that some may find challenging, I highly recommend Simon’s approach to these subjects. More than just his style of delivery he is able to bring the subject matter to life by relating it to actual experience of working in the health and social care sector, in particular how to assist people find better ways to communicate their unmet needs. Simon has been there, seen it and done it, this gives his delivery a depth, relatability and integrity that can all too often be missing.”

“Simon worked with us so we could develop understanding and much better ways to support the challenges that people with dementia have. The training was very interactive. Within a short time Simon had engaged all of us to participate in some way which in itself is not an easy task! Staff enthused about what they learnt. They found it empowering to de-escalate volatile situations in a calm and educated manner.”

Simon’s training style is very interactive and enjoyable.
Simon was very supportive of staff that he trained when completing PBS support plans, coaching them and giving guidance where required. The PBS Plans went on to make an enormous difference to people’s lives.”
