Dealing with Challenging Behaviour

Natalie — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:01:03 +0000

Thursday 13 July 2010

Challenging behaviours can be displayed by any person.

Experience and research suggests that what professionals call ‘challenging behaviour’ is often a reaction to the challenging environments that services or others create around people with developmental disabilities, and a method of communicating dissatisfaction with the failure of services or others to listen for what kind of life makes most sense to the person, especially where services or others create lifestyles and relationships that are centred on what suits them or the service and its staff rather than what suits the person.

If you want to know more please book a place for this course
