The work of The Challenging Behaviour Foundation

There is a wealth of policy and best practice guidance on working with children and adults with severe learning disabilities and behaviour that is perceived as challenging. However, the day‐to‐day experiences for many individuals are often far removed from what the policy documents say should be happening. The author describes the history and work of the Challenging Behaviour Foundation in meeting these challenges on the ground and providing support and information to people with challenging behaviour and their families.
