Transforming our understanding of challenging behaviours in autistic individuals to behaviours that challenge Part 3

--:--
Have you been told by an educator that your child needs medication for behaviours the educator or school find challenging?

This is a hotbed topic for many schools and parents who both need more information and understanding about why a child has certain behaviours.

We believe that when we all know better, we can do better.

Desirae Pillay of Parent Reality asked Claire Allen, a seasoned voice and an educational specialist, about the rights and responsibilities of our education system when a child has behaviours that challenge.

In Part 1 Claire redefines “challenging behaviour” to “behaviour that challenges”.
In Part 2, Desirae and Claire discuss the topic of medication and behaviours.
Part 3 is a lively discussion about schooling for a person who has behaviours that challenge the school.
