Professionals may use the term ‘behaviours of concern’ to describe behaviours that pose a risk to the health and safety of the child or those around them, or that create a barrier to a child participating in society and undermines their quality of life. Navigating daily life in a world designed for verbal communication can be very challenging for these children as well as for the parents who care for and support them.

This webinar will help you:

-Develop an understanding of how behaviour can be a form of communication for children with disability

-Explore approaches and supports to help both parents and children identify and respond to nonverbal communication

-Develop insight into parent experiences of providing care to a child with disability.

This is an introductory level webinar recommended for practitioners and service providers working with parents of children with disability.
