ABOUT BO HEJLSKOV ELVÉN'S PRESENTATION
Vicious Circle - How We Understand Challenging Behaviour
Bo helps staff and parents to understand the thought processes they are faced with while dealing with behaviour they find challenging to manage.
He will provide successfully insight and strategies to;
● Identify how your thinking might trigger behaviour.
● Learn how to reflect and react when challenged.
● Use thinking to form a method choice framework.
● Create successful thoughts to support the autistic person, instead of fuelling negative behaviour patterns.
● Reflect on your beliefs about autism and behaviour.
● Improve yourself, your thinking and actions.
