Learning Disabilities: Share and Learn Webinar – 29 June 2017NHS England
Topic One : Violence or behaviour that challenges in children with learning disabilities and autism – how you can help to make a difference
Guest speaker: Yvonne Newbold, World Health Innovation Summit Ambassador - Learning Disabilities, Autism and their Families
Around 25% of children who are diagnosed with a learning disability or autism will develop violent and challenging behaviour yet there is very little understanding or awareness of this issue. This means that affected families, who are already coping with frightening and dangerous situations every day at home, are often met with disbelief, judgement and blame from the people they turn to for help. Yvonne Newbold talks through some simple strategies that could make all the difference.
Topic Two : Positive Behaviour Support – Supporting people with behaviours of concern in their communities
Guest speaker: Tom Evans, PBS Development Lead, British Institute of Learning Disabilities
This webinar focuses on Positive Behaviour Support and how it can support children and adults who are at risk of being excluded or experiencing restrictive practices because they have behaviours that are considered to be challenging or concerning.
