Explore what distressed behaviour may be communicating and why conventional behaviour-management approaches can miss what is really happening. We’ll consider overwhelm, unmet needs, nervous-system responses and the impact of the environment, helping you build a fuller picture and respond with greater understanding and confidence.
Bring the learning into your own professional context. Through guided reflection, discussion and coaching, you’ll explore real challenges, identify what may be happening beneath the behaviour and consider practical changes you can begin testing in your setting.
Discover creative, neuro-affirming ways to support regulation, communication and emotional expression without relying solely on spoken language. You’ll explore adaptable activities and tools that can be used with different children, needs and professional settings.
Reflect on what you’ve tried, what you’ve noticed and what needs adjusting. You’ll use the learning from the programme to develop a realistic plan for responding to distress, supporting regulation and embedding neuro-affirming practice beyond the course.
Day time cohort: Mondays 11:00am-12:30pm starting 2nd November
