All behaviour happens for a reason and understanding why someone might display behaviour that may challenge is crucial to being able to effectively support them.
Welcome to our unparalleled service, designed to cater to families by forging strong partnerships. We believe in understanding the triggers behind challenging behaviours to develop a robust care plan that ensures consistency and contingency measures. Our bespoke Positive Behavioural Support Plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. We also offer a communication passport to facilitate effective interactions.
Injury to themselves or others i.e. head banging, hitting, biting, hair pulling, throwing things, spitting
Offensive language, screaming, shouting, threats, abuse, repetitive speech

There are a number of common possible reasons that an individual may present with behaviours that may challenge, to name only a few:
To get noticed or acknowledged by others
To get away from a situation or task the person finds difficult
To get something they want (e.g. food, activities, etc.)
Because it feels good
To express their emotions to others
To let other know about it or to manage their discomfort.
