New video / DVD resource: An Introduction to Challenging Behaviour

What is challenging behaviour? Why does it happen? What can be done about it?

Using interviews with two parent carers, and with specialist input from Peter McGill (Senior Lecturer in Learning Disability at the University of Kent at Canterbury Tizard Centre), this new 40 minute video / DVD gives a basic introduction to challenging behaviour associated with severe learning disabilities.

The Challenging Behaviour Foundation aims to make specialist knowledge relating to the care of individuals with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour accessible to all parents and carers who would benefit. The Challenging Behaviour Foundation information pack has been widely welcomed and appreciated, and a series of videos to complement the information pack is now being planned.

The video/DVD ‘An Introduction to Challenging Behaviour’ costs £30 (£15 to voluntary & community organisations) plus £1.50 p&p. It is free to parents/unpaid carers.

Complementing the Challenging Behaviour Foundation information sheet ‘basic information about challenging behaviour’, written by Peter McGill, the video has been produced for parents and carers of individuals with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour, or for anyone wanting to understand what it can be like for the families involved.

All proceeds from the sale of the video / DVD will go towards helping families caring for individuals with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour.
