Challenging Behaviours

The Behaviours that Challenge Workshop was first piloted in 2015 by Dr Reddy, as way of supporting parents who had concerns about their children’s challenging behaviour. The workshops were offered to parents of children who were either diagnosed or on the pathway for diagnosis for children who present with social communication and/or attentional difficulties. Family Voice Peterborough were trained by the CPFT in the summer of 2017 and have been delivering it since. The programme is delivered by a parent-carer who has extensive knowledge and experience in working with families whose children are experiencing behavioural difficulties. The workshop will cover the following topics:

What are social communication and/or attentional difficulties?
What do we mean by challenging behaviour?
Understanding the various causes and functions of challenging behaviour.
And finally, what strategies can we use to help reduce challenging behaviour?

Parents who have previously attended the course had this to say about it:

“Brilliant course should be offered to all school parents. This course is needed, please offer to other groups!”

“Very good course, very informative for parents. Would recommend this course to any parent. Very knowledgeable tutor.”

“Very useful and informative, was delivered excellently.”

The workshop is delivered over three hours, term time only during school hours. If you are interested in attending then please fill out the booking form as spaces are limited and are on a first come first served basis. We currently only have funding to deliver this course for free up until April 2019 and in order to secure further funding we need to show that parents need this information and service. If you have any further queries then do not hesitate in contacting us.
