Listen Later

Join us for The CALMER Approach: Sharing how to co-design the right level of therapeutic support at the right time to end seclusion with Francisco and Amy De Paula.

Francisco de Paula is passionate about supporting all to reach their potential. The CALMER Approach developed out of his passion to close the gap between theory and practice while looking for ways to make a more meaningful impact in positive behavior support.

Francisco has been working in the disability sector for over 20 years, starting as a support worker in accommodation, day programs, recreation programs, and employment settings. Since 2011, he has been working as a Behaviour Support Practitioner and an Education and Training facilitator (in both TAFE and private courses). He is a certified Person Centered Active Support facilitator since 2016 (through Greystanes Disability Services, NSW). Person-centered practice, PBS, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practice strongly influence his practice and training.

Amy de Paula is an Occupational Therapist who has been working in community disability settings for over twenty years. With a passion for meaningful engagement and co-design, she loves anything that leads to people having autonomy and participation in their lives.
