There are many potential causes of challenging behavior in people with learning disabilities. These include physical causes like untreated pain or medical issues; environmental causes such as changes in routine or unstimulating surroundings; trauma from experiences like abuse; communication difficulties that can lead to frustration; and learned behavior, where challenging actions become associated with getting needs met. It is important to consider all of these potential underlying reasons when supporting someone who displays challenging behavior.

Challenging Behaviour
This document discusses challenging behavior and how to effectively deal with it. It defines challenging behavior and outlines some common examples, such as self-stimulation, self-harm, abuse towards others, and property destruction. The document aims to help candidates understand challenging behavior, recognize signs and symptoms, identify potential causes, and use simple interventions to diffuse difficult situations. It also stresses the importance of managing one's own behavior and asking whether one's responses are helping or hindering the situation.
Challenging Behaviour
The document discusses challenging behavior in individuals with learning disabilities. It explains that challenging behavior often stems from an inability to communicate wants and needs effectively. It may serve as a way for those with learning disabilities to exert control over their environment. While there is no single cure, medical causes should be ruled out and functional assessments conducted to understand the reasons for behavior. Caregivers should develop communication skills, provide choice, and get support from professionals to help reduce challenging incidents. Proper support involves meeting individual needs through flexible, personalized services and developing genuine partnerships between those receiving support and caregivers.
Chapter 18 managing challenging behaviors
This document discusses managing challenging behaviors in early childhood education settings. It emphasizes using the teaching pyramid model to promote positive behaviors through supportive relationships and preventative strategies. For children exhibiting challenging behaviors, the document recommends collecting observational data to understand the triggers and functions of behaviors before developing individualized intervention plans implemented consistently across settings and with family involvement. Effective plans address the underlying reasons for behaviors and teach replacement skills rather than punishing.
Challenging Behaviour
Challenging behaviour is defined as behaviour that challenges our understanding or well-being, or a child or professional's ability to carry out responsibilities. It can also refer to behaviours that significantly risk people's well-being or reduce access to community settings. Types of challenging behaviour include running away, fears/anxieties, problems with transitions, aggression/destruction, and withdrawal. The term was adopted to view such behaviour as a challenge to services rather than a psychological issue, requiring services to promote positive development, reduce damaging behaviour, and maintain quality of life despite difficulties. The focus should be helping individuals learn skills and participate in their communities, while also addressing behaviours that can be barriers to development and cause social exclusion.

Understanding & Responding to Challenging Behaviour
Behaving in a socially acceptable way can be tricky for some children some of the time. In this guide, we’ll consider first how and why to look beyond the label of ‘bad behaviour’ to gain a better understanding of what is going on for our child. Then we'll consider how we can respond in an appropriate way and support our child to reduce the frequency and intensity of tricky behaviours.
Towards the back of this guide, you'll find a behaviour journal and a behaviour change plan. These are designed to be printable and copiable; feel free to copy, use and share them.
Cherry-pick the ideas that you think might work for you and give them a go. You can always revisit others later if you need to.
Good luck!

Autism presentation
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior and is characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication. While the specific causes are unknown, it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors influencing early brain development. Statistics show that about 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the US, and prevalence has been increasing 10-17% annually. Students with autism may struggle with social skills, focus, organization and processing sensory information. Common accommodations include extra time on tests, preferential seating, and visual aids, while modifications alter the curriculum or grading.
Autism Powerpoint
The document discusses several autism interventions:
1) Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)
2) Pivotal Response Training
3) Social Stories
4) Structured Teaching (TEACCH)
It provides a brief 1-2 sentence description of each intervention.
Autism (autism spectrum disorder)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. It inhibits social skills, causes sensory issues, and can be accompanied by intellectual or language disabilities. ASD exists on a spectrum, ranging from mild to severe symptoms. It is caused by genetic and environmental factors, though not linked to vaccines. Diagnosis involves evaluating social, communication and behavioral development. While there is no cure, treatment aims to minimize symptoms and help people with ASD develop skills to achieve greater independence.
Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. ASD begins before age three and affects each person differently, with a wide range of symptoms from mild to severe. While the specific causes of ASD are unknown, genetic factors likely play a role. Early diagnosis and treatment, especially intensive behavioral therapy, can help children with ASD develop important skills.
12 Tips for Teaching Children with Autism
Autism is a neurological disorder characterized by severe deficits in communication, language, and social skills. The prevalence of autism has risen significantly worldwide and in the Philippines over the past few decades. Tips for teaching children with autism include using simple and concrete language, teaching specific social rules, giving fewer choices, providing clear structure and routines, warning of any changes, addressing children individually, avoiding overstimulation, allowing avoidance of difficult activities, and allowing some obsessive behaviors as rewards.
Identifying and Handling Children with Disabilities
The document discusses several mental health disorders that can affect children, including prevalence, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It notes that ADHD is the most common diagnosis, affecting 6.8% of children aged 3-17. Boys are more likely than girls to be diagnosed with certain disorders such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and conduct disorders. Common neurodevelopmental disorders discussed include autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, and ADHD. Depression affects 8% of youth aged 12-17, with girls more likely to be diagnosed in adolescence. Anxiety disorders like separation anxiety and social anxiety also affect many children. Assessments involve evaluating symptoms, impairments, and risks according to the DSM-
Autism Spectrum
The document discusses autism spectrum disorders including communication disorders, socialization problems, and various conditions on the autism spectrum such as Asperger's syndrome and childhood disintegrative disorder. It notes that autism is characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication as well as restricted and repetitive behaviors. Early intervention is important and can address deficits in communication, social skills, academics and other areas. Treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the child and may involve educational or medical interventions.

Sensory Impairments
The document discusses sensory impairments including deafness, hearing loss, blindness, visual impairment, and deaf-blindness. It covers the characteristics, prevalence, and causal factors of different sensory disabilities. It also describes clinical assessments used to evaluate sensory functions. The document outlines early intervention services and educational approaches for students with sensory impairments from elementary through high school levels. Challenges these students face in postsecondary and employment settings are also summarized.
Sensory impairment
Sensory impairment occurs when one of the senses like sight, hearing, smell, touch or taste is not functioning normally. Visual impairment limits eye or vision function. Hearing impairment prevents receiving sounds through the ear and can range from difficulty hearing faint sounds to not distinguishing any sounds. Multisensory impairment involves a combination of visual and hearing loss, intensifying the impact. Common smell and taste disorders include anosmia, ageusia, hyposmia and hypogeusia which reduce or distort odors and tastes and can affect quality of life.

Stoma bag Awareness
A stoma bag collects waste from a surgically created opening (stoma) in the abdomen. A stoma may be needed for conditions like cancer or bowel disease. There are three main types of stoma - for the small bowel, large bowel, or ureters. To care for a stoma bag, the area around the stoma must be cleaned gently without rubbing before applying a new bag. The bag flange is cut to size and fitted securely over the stoma to collect waste without leaks. Full bags are emptied into the toilet and disposed of properly.
Pressure Sore
Pressure sores, also known as decubitus ulcers or bed sores, are localized skin injuries caused by prolonged pressure, friction, or shearing forces that impair blood flow. They commonly form over bony areas of immobilized patients and cost health systems billions annually to treat. Prevention focuses on reducing pressure, moisture, and shearing through frequent repositioning, skin care, nutrition, and devices like air mattresses. Pressure sores are staged from 1 to 4 based on tissue depth involvement and managed accordingly through cleaning, debridement, dressings, and sometimes antibiotics.

In Service For Nurses
Autism is a neurological disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior patterns. It is diagnosed in approximately 1 in 150 children and is the fastest growing developmental disability. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and abnormal brain development are thought to play a role. Students with autism exhibit a wide range of abilities and challenges, and often have difficulties with social skills, communication, behavior, and sensory processing. Effective teaching strategies focus on clear expectations, preparation for changes, praise, and accommodation of individual needs.

Child protection 5
This document defines child abuse and outlines the different types. It states that child abuse includes physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect. Abuse can occur within the family, community, or institutional settings. The document also discusses factors that can increase the risk of abuse, such as a child's developmental needs, a caregiver's capacity to meet those needs, and environmental factors. The four main types of abuse are defined as physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect.
Child protection 4
Local authorities have a duty to investigate if a child is suspected to be at risk of significant harm. Safeguarding aims to protect children's wellbeing and development by ensuring their safety, stability, and care. It also aims to prevent maltreatment, neglect, violence, and impairment that could affect a child's life chances. Child protection refers specifically to protecting children who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm. Child protection conferences bring together family and professionals to assess risk and create plans for children deemed at risk of harm.
Child Protection 3
The document discusses safeguarding children from harm and impairment. It defines significant harm as ill-treatment or impairment of a child's health or development. Children can be more vulnerable if they are babies, disabled, isolated, in care, or have emotional/behavioral difficulties. Professionals must take special care to safeguard children living in stressful circumstances such as poverty, domestic violence, parental mental illness, substance abuse, racism, or crime. Babies under one are especially vulnerable to abuse and have the highest rates of homicide and child protection plans.
Child Protection 2
Children who are vulnerable and unlikely to maintain a satisfactory level of health or development without support services. A continuum of need exists from simple to complex support needs, with child protection needs requiring intervention under section 47 of the Children Act. Legislation like the Children Acts of 1989 and 2004 and Education Act of 2002 provide guidance on safeguarding children. Abuse can occur through neglect, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by family, institutions, communities, or strangers including online.
Child Protection
This document discusses child protection in the UK. It defines child protection as protecting children from abuse and neglect through measures and structures. The aims are to raise awareness of safeguarding responsibilities and signs of possible abuse. The Children Act 1989 is the key legislation, establishing the paramount principle of a child's welfare and defining parental responsibility, local authority duties to investigate suspected harm, and children "in need". The 2004 Act responded to inquiries by integrating children's services and establishing safeguarding boards between agencies.
Stroke Awareness
There are two main types of stroke: ischaemic and haemorrhagic. Ischaemic strokes are caused by blockages in arteries supplying the brain, usually from blood clots or fatty deposits. Haemorrhagic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, usually due to high blood pressure. Key tests to determine the type of stroke include brain scans such as CT or MRI scans, and ultrasounds of the neck arteries. The type of stroke determines the appropriate treatment.
Stroke Awareness
Signs and symptoms of a stroke include drooping of the face, arms or legs, blurred vision, slurred speech, confusion, weakness or numbness. Key stages include symptoms developing suddenly due to a blockage or bleed in the brain. Location of damage in the brain determines affected areas of the body. Treatment depends on stroke type, such as clot-busting drugs for ischemic strokes. Recovery often occurs in the first few months but can last years with rehabilitation support. Prevention is important as risk of another stroke remains high post-stroke.
Stroke Awareness
Most strokes are caused by damaged arteries that carry blood to the brain. Arteries can become hardened, narrowed, or weakened over time from conditions like high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. The location and severity of reduced blood flow in the brain determines the symptoms, as different areas of the brain control different body functions.
Stroke Awareness
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to be damaged or die. This document provides an overview of a stroke awareness training course, which aims to teach candidates about stroke symptoms, types, risk factor management, emergency response, and post-stroke management and support. The goals are to help people understand what a stroke is, recognize the signs of a stroke, and know how to appropriately respond in the event of a stroke.
Stroke Awareness
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. Most strokes are caused by a blood clot blocking an artery, while some are caused by bleeding in the brain. Symptoms of a stroke can include numbness or weakness on one side of the body, facial drooping, slurred speech, and blurred vision. It is a medical emergency and calling emergency services immediately is crucial to receiving timely treatment.
Personal Care
The document provides guidelines for various caregiving tasks including reducing costs of high protein foods, preventing skin breakdown, lifting and moving recipients safely, general positioning principles, turning and positioning rules, ambulation safety, and safe cleaning product use. Key recommendations are to use cheaper poultry over red meat, change recipient positions every two hours to prevent skin issues, bend at hips and knees with back straight when lifting, and do not mix cleaning products.
Personal Care
Health records serve two main functions - primary and secondary. The primary function is to record important clinical information for healthcare professionals involved in a patient's care, such as treatments, allergies, medications, test results, and personal details. The secondary function is to use anonymized record data to improve public health services, track disease spread and risk factors, and conduct clinical research on treatment effectiveness. Records take many forms, both paper and electronic, and include notes from appointments, hospital admission and discharge records, test results, x-rays, and images. Employers and those in control of premises have a legal duty under RIDDOR to record and report work-related injuries, diseases, and incidents.
Personal Care
Personal care involves assistance with activities of daily living like washing, dressing, eating and mobility. It is provided by trained carers rather than nurses for those needing help but not medical care. Good communication techniques include listening, making eye contact, using simple language, giving feedback without interrupting or appearing impatient. Kitchen safety means avoiding high heat with grease, using potholders for hot items, cleaning spills immediately, and being careful with knives. Signs of infection can include fever, restlessness, chills, abnormal discharge, swelling, lack of appetite, redness, pain, and changes in behavior.
Personal Care
This document discusses a personal care course that teaches candidates how to provide quality personal care according to individuals' needs. The course covers bathing, showering, mouth and denture care, hair care, foot and nail care, and adhering to basic safety and standard precaution principles. The aims are to understand what personal care involves, how to provide different types of personal care according to needs, and the importance of recording and reporting. Personal care includes assistance with bodily functions like dressing, washing, bathing, toileting, eating, drinking, taking medication, and communicating. It is the occupation of attending to the physical needs of those unable to care for themselves, such as tasks involving moving, eating, cooking, shopping,
Peg Feeding
Feeding tubes are often inappropriately inserted in patients with dementia contrary to their and their families' wishes. Research shows little benefit from aggressive nutritional support via feeding tubes for those with dementia as it does not improve life expectancy, weight, or reduce complications. Feeding tubes should not be used for administrative convenience and have been found to adversely affect quality of life in terminal patients. Hospitals are now reviewing PEG requests with nutrition teams and consultants to appropriately assess if insertion will improve quality of life rather than just prolonging it.
Peg Feeding
This document provides information on caring for and potential complications of a PEG tube. It describes routinely cleaning and rotating the tube to prevent adherence. Potential immediate complications within 72 hours include hemorrhage, perforation, aspiration or oversedation from the endoscopy, as well as ileus, pneumoperitoneum or wound issues. Delayed complications can include gastric outlet obstruction, buried bumper syndrome, dislodged or blocked tubes, or infections. PEG tubes should be removed if no longer needed, for persistent infections, or failure/deterioration, and the method depends on the tube type.
Peg Feeding
PEG is a surgical procedure where a feeding tube is placed through the abdomen into the stomach using an endoscope, avoiding open abdominal surgery. It is used for patients unable to eat for a prolonged period. A gastrostomy is created through the skin and stomach using the endoscope to guide placement of the feeding tube. PEG is performed to provide nutrition to patients who cannot swallow food and is done by physicians like surgeons, ENT specialists, radiologists or gastroenterologists, often in outpatient settings. It has advantages over surgical gastrostomy in taking less time, carrying less risk and costing less.
Peg Feeding
This document provides an introduction to PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) feeding. PEG is a medical procedure where a feeding tube is inserted directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall, allowing for enteral nutrition when oral intake is not adequate. The document outlines what PEG is, the insertion method, benefits of PEG feeding, post-insertion management and care, potential complications, and feeding techniques. PEG is an alternative to open surgical gastrostomy that does not require general anesthesia, using mild sedation instead. PEG tubes can also be extended into the small intestine for feeding.
Learning Disability
This document discusses several physical and emotional conditions that are often associated with learning disabilities, including autism, Asperger's syndrome, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, fragile X syndrome, global development delay, and challenging behaviors. It notes that individuals with learning disabilities may receive multiple diagnoses and require additional support. Brief descriptions of each condition are provided.
Learning Disability
A learning disability affects how a person learns new information and communicates, impacting their ability to understand complex ideas, learn new skills, and function independently. Around 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability, which can range from mild to severe. While a learning disability is different from a learning difficulty or mental illness, support from professionals is available to help individuals live as independently as possible.

Challenging Behaviour
- 1. Causes of Challenging Behaviour
- 2. Causes Causes of challenging behaviour There are many different reasons why a person may behave in a challenging or difficult way: Physical Causes Environmental Causes Trauma Communication Learnt behaviour
- 3. Causes Physical causes – Individuals may be experiencing pain but be unable to communicate this. They may engage in challenging behaviour as a way of showing they are in discomfort. Physical complaints such as urine tract infections and diabetes may also cause people to behave in ways that may present a challenge.
- 4. Causes Environmental causes – Individuals with autism are particularly sensitive to their surroundings and may become distressed by small changes to their environment; other individuals may respond to unstimulating environments by being challenging. Other changes such as moving house or a key worker leaving may also have a negative impact on someone with learning disabilities.
- 5. Causes Trauma – Challenging behaviour may be a response to a trauma the individual has experienced, for example bereavement or abuse. People with learning disabilities are also often stigmatised and experience bullying. If they are unable to communicate their feelings about this they may respond with challenging behaviour.
- 6. Causes Communication – Almost all people with learning disabilities have communication difficulties. Frustration and an inability to get their needs met may lead to challenging behaviour. It is important to know what an individual understands and to match your communication style to this. It is also vital to help people communicate, through signs and symbols where appropriate.
- 7. Causes Learnt behaviour – Individuals may learn that by using challenging behaviour they are able to get their needs met. For example, if a person cannot speak or sign they may find it difficult to get help from staff and they may discover that challenging behaviour is one way to get their help. At times, challenging behaviours may also help them to gain other activities or to avoid tasks/situations that the individual may not wish to be involved in. It is worth thinking about and exploring the above possibilities when working with or caring for someone with challenging behaviour.
