Cathy will explore the concept of behaviour as a form of communication, highlighting how individuals express needs, emotions, and experiences through their actions. Participants will gain insights into understanding and interpreting behaviours, particularly in individuals who may struggle with verbal communication. I will cover key strategies for identifying underlying causes of behaviour, such as unmet needs, anxiety, or sensory processing challenges. Attendees will learn practical approaches to respond effectively, reduce challenging behaviours, and build positive, supportive relationships.
