Module 9 - Challenging Behaviours
Key Learning Points:

1.

Challenging behaviour can have a number

of possible causes and often has more than

one cause.

2.

Where challenging behaviour has changed

significantly or a new behaviour appears, it

is important to exclude physical illness or

pain.

3.

Intervention to shape the behaviour of

another person should only be undertaken

where their behaviour presents a

significant risk to the person or to others.

4.

The key to management is a careful

assessment to identify what environmental, physical, mental or emotional factors

are contributing to the behaviour and then trying to modify these.
