All behaviour i.e. challenging and non-challenging behaviour is a form of communication. Students with disabilities often have trouble communicating. The student may have tried several times to communicate to staff about their needs, but if staff haven’t recognised and responded to the student’s communication appropriately, they will resort to using challenging behaviour as a way of expressing their message. This manual looks at ways of helping staff members recognise, interpret and respond to the student's challenging behaviour in proactive ways.
