Leadership Event Behaviour Support
Key Note Speaker
David Pitonyak


On December 2nd 2008 BILD will be hosting their first annual behaviour support leadership event. Our Director Sharon Paley will give the welcome address to the conference; the key note speaker for the day will be David Pitonyak, other speakers include Andy McDonnell.

I attended a workshop at which David spoke just over ten years ago, he is an inspirational presenter who obviously understands how important it is to put the person at the centre of everything we do. I am really looking forward to hearing him speak again and recommend this event to anyone with an interest in this field.’ Sharon Paley, Executive Director Challenging Behaviour Network.

An inspiring speaker David is a must see for anyone who works with and or supports people who exhibit what might be referred to as ‘challenging’ or ‘difficult behaviours.’ David believes that difficult behaviours result from unmet needs and they (the behaviours) are messages. David truly puts the person and their experiences at the centre of his philosophy and work. This event will be of relevance to a number of professionals working across and within services that support children, young people and adults.
