Your behaviour questions answered – send us your question for next time!

After the success of our Behaviour Support Online Q&A back in the summer, we have held another of these. Matthew Hodder from Affinity Trust explained the “ABC” of challenging behaviour – how to analyse it to work out what’s causing it and how you might reduce it.

The timings in the recording are:

0 minutes – Introduction and explaining the components of challenging behaviour.

6 – What are the triggers of behaviour?

20 – Looking at the behaviour itself.

25 – Consequences of behaviour.

30 – Summary of the above – if you don’t have time for 0-30, watch this!

33 – Question from parent 1.

39 – Question from parent 2.

48 – How behaviour might get worse before it gets better, called “extinction burst”.
