Wise Up Workshop – Understanding and supporting behaviour

We know that children with additional needs, can have behaviours that are concerning to people around them and that this can be difficult for a family to manage. These behaviours can be seen as communication. When we know what a young person is trying to tell us, we can start to think about how to help.

In this workshop we will try to help families to understand:

• what their young person’s behaviours mean.
• we will think about how this understanding can be used to develop strategies for parents and carers.

This workshop draws on the principles of Riding the Rapids, offering a compassionate, practical approach to understanding and supporting behaviour in neurodivergent children and young people.
