What you will learn in this course

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Understanding Behaviour

Our introduction chapter will have us explore what we mean by challenging behaviour, and start to explore what might influence a person to need to engage in these behaviours. We have a closer look at the way our brain and bodies work in response to stress and how this can lead to behaviours that may concern us.

Chapter 2
