Are you an education professional looking for better ways to support pupils experiencing demand avoidance? In this video, Stewart Burgess, Lead Practitioner from our Group, explores how Positive Behaviour Support can help us understand the needs behind behaviour, reduce pressure, increase predictability and promote autonomy.
Stewart shares:
✔️How positive behaviour support can help us look beyond the behaviour itself and consider the function, context and needs that may sit behind demand avoidance
✔️Practical, proactive ways of reducing unnecessary pressure, increasing predictability, supporting autonomy and adapting the environment before asking the pupil to change
✔️The role of the adult within the interaction, including how our own nervous system, emotional state and responses can influence regulation, relationships and the effectiveness of the support we provide
