About Dave Jereb

Dave Jereb is a distinguished paediatric occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience and co-founder of MoveAbout Therapy Services. His vision centres on creating a world where all children have meaningful lives and are valued within their communities.

Alongside his wife Kathy, also an OT, Dave developed the MoveAbout Activity Cards and workshops of regulation, behaviour and connection. 

Dave has contributed to various podcasts and he can be found on the MoveAbout YouTube channel, sharing his insights and innovative ideas in occupational therapy and supporting children with challenging behaviours.

Dave's key principle is to ‘support the people who support the kids’, including the families he works with, his MoveAbout team and the community of people supporting children.

Last year Dave became an Amazon international number one bestseller with his book, 'Challenging the Story', offering child-centred and connection-focused strategies for managing challenging behaviours. The Challenging the Story of Behaviour workshop is set to launch towards the end of 2024. 

Challenging the Story of Behaviour offers over four hours of engaging content that you can access anytime and complete at your own pace.

What’s Inside the Course?

Challenging the Story of Behaviour is divided into eight thoughtfully structured modules that guide you through the ABC-IDEAS Framework step by step.

Module 1: Introduction to Behaviour

Reframe how you think about behaviour — moving away from blame and towards curiosity, understanding, and connection.

Module 2: The Objective Behaviour

Learn how to observe behaviour clearly and objectively, separating it from assumptions, labels, and interpretations.

Module 3: Antecedents & Consequences

Explore what happens before and after a behaviour, and why these patterns matter more than we often realise.

Module 4: Safe to Learn and Engage

Understand the importance of safety — physical, emotional, sensory — as the foundation for regulation, learning, and connection.

Module 5: Individual Differences

Every child is different. This module helps you identify and respond to each child’s unique sensory, cognitive, and emotional profile.

Module 6: Developmental Abilities, Environments & Activity

Take a closer look at the “fit” between the child’s abilities, the environment, and the demands of the task — and how to adjust for success.

Module 7: Social Environment & Connection

Relationships matter. Learn how the social environment influences behaviour — and how to foster connection that supports change.

Module 8: Hypotheses & Strategies

Bring it all together using the ABC-IDEAS Clinical Reasoning Tool to guide your next steps with clarity and confidence.
