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.

The 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.
