🎉 CPBS Named IABA’s First Designated Centre of Excellence 🎉
We are incredibly proud to share that CPBS has been formally recognised by the International Association for Behaviour Analysis (IABA) Research and Education Foundation as its first-ever Centre of Excellence.
This milestone reflects decades of principled, high-fidelity practice grounded in Multi-Element Behaviour Support (MEBS). Our co-founders, Dr Geoff Potter and Kylie Potter, were inspired by the MEBS model developed by Gary LaVigna and Dr Thomas Willis who have mentored Dr Geoff Potter in this approach for over 30 years.
Over time, CPBS has grown into an internationally respected organisation, providing MEBS-based support to more than 1,500 individuals, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to non-aversive practices, comprehensive assessment, and lifelong learning.
Today, CPBS stands as a global example of what’s possible when values, science, and systems are intentionally aligned. This recognition honours our past and present and reinforces our shared commitment to shaping the future of ethical, compassionate, and effective behaviour support.

We’re excited to share something new we’ll be gently exploring at CPBS 🤖
We’ve secured a build slot for NEO, a robot we’ll be trialling to see how technology might support participants in practical, meaningful ways. In this trial we will explore whether technology could be another supportive tool alongside our practitioners expertise.
We’re looking forward to learning, reflecting, and sharing the journey as it unfolds.

A reminder you might need today:
Rest is productive.
Taking time for yourself matters. 🌿
21/01/2026
Freedom from overwhelm begins when we stop chasing “enough” and start choosing what actually matters.
So here’s your reminder to slow down.
To take in the new year without rushing it.
To make time for yourself.
Pause. Breathe. Put on music that soothes your soul.
Break your tasks into smaller steps — especially the ones that feel heavy or overwhelming.
You don’t have to do everything at once.
You’re allowed to move gently. ✨

At CPBS, we believe in a person-centred approach. That means we tailor our programs to the needs of the person. We do not expect the person to conform to the pre-set structure of our program. We use a strengths-based approach when designing each person’s individualised programme.
We use a multi-element model, incorporating the best from PBS, ABA and Educational Theory. We believe in taking the strengths from these approaches and combining them to create a powerhouse program to enhance the person’s learning and development.
This specialises in person-centred support, giving the focus person and their families a holistic support. We specialise in complex behavioural support needs via our multi-element framework, inclusive of non-linear behavioural assessment, multi-element Positive Behaviour Support Plan, implementation, training, evaluation and troubleshooting.
At CPBS we believe people are happiest having fun and feeling successful. We design programs to develop individual strengths, build support networks and make strong lasting relationships.
