Understanding and Addressing Behaviours of Concern

This online session will help parents, carers and other adults to make sense of what a child, young person or adult’s behaviours mean and explore ways of reducing behaviours of concern. Focus will be placed on practical assessment and intervention tools that can be used in the home environment, and that will support a child or adult to develop more helpful ways of communicating their needs.

In this session you will learn:

• How to understand what a child or adults’ behaviours mean, when they cannot communicate their needs orally
• How to make sense of a child or young person’s or adult’s behaviours of concern , using some simple assessment tools
• How to focus on a priority behaviour and how to use strategies that help to reduce this
• How to support a child or adult to develop more effective ways of communicating what they want and need
• How to work out what kind of activities will help them to feel more regulated

The session includes a mixture of presentation, demonstration of items, case examples and practical considerations.  Opportunity will be given for questions and discussion.
