Behaviour and the brain

Our most popular course looks at how many hard to change behaviours may have a neurological cause. The only way to change and maintain behaviour will be through managing the environment and changing the way we set up play and learning tasks.

The way children behave can be influenced by the way the brain works. Sometimes behaviour is hard to change even when we do all the right things.

This session looks at how the brain can influence behaviour and how, if we understand the difficulties, it makes it easier for us to work with children with behavioural needs.

Learning outcomes

After attending the course, you will:

• Recognise how the impact in the brain affects its development and commonly affects behaviour
• Know more about what these behaviours look like at home and in settings
• Be able to use some ways in which we can begin to address these behaviours

The whole day course enables participants to discuss individual needs and begin to problem solve as a group.
