Assessment in PBS: Motivation Assessment Scale
Dec 09, 2025This webinar provides PBS practitioners with a clear, practical exploration of the Motivation Assessment Scale (MAS) and its role within a comprehensive Positive Behaviour Support assessment. Participants will learn how the MAS helps identify the underlying functions of behaviours of concern, how to administer the tool reliably, and how to interpret results alongside other assessment data such as observations, interviews, and incident records. The session breaks down each MAS domain, highlights common pitfalls and clinical nuances, and demonstrates how MAS outcomes can meaningfully inform hypothesis development and behaviour support planning. Practitioners will leave with increased confidence in integrating the MAS into their assessment workflow to improve accuracy, alignment with evidence-based practice, and person-centred outcomes.
