Supporting Pupils who present with Behaviours of Concern

Overview
This webinar will examine behaviours of concern or distress. The aim is to examine examples of behaviours of concern and look at ways we can find out the communicative intent of behaviours.

Learning Outcomes
In this webinar we will examine what the pupil may be communicating by looking at functional behaviour evaluation. This will be followed by an examination of proactive strategies that can be used in the educational environment to minimise the chances of behaviours of concern occurring.

It is hoped that participants will gain another perspective on behaviours of concern and how proactive strategies can be used as part of part of participants’ current classroom management approaches repertoire.
