Achieving Best Behaviour for Children with Developmental Disabilities

Instructions for drawing up and implementing behaviour plans to improve challenging behaviours.

Achieving Best Behaviour for Children with Developmental Difficulties offers practical, hands-on advice and step-by-step instructions to encourage positive behaviour in children with developmental disabilities. It is packed with interactive checklists, strategies and activities to help parents and carers monitor and assess behaviour and track a child’s development. The author also explains likely causes of challenging behaviour and suggests how to manage everyday situations, from shopping trips and getting a haircut to dentist appointments and children’s birthday parties.
