Sometimes a person’s behaviour can challenge those who provide them with support. There are many reasons why a person may use behaviours to get their needs met.

Key to providing support to individuals who may present with behaviours that challenge is to recognise, understand and respond to changes in behaviour with personalised strategies that enhance a person’s quality of life.

Behaviours that challenge can often lead to restrictions placed on the individual, this in turn affects quality of life, therefore the person challenges against this – the restriction/behaviour dichotomy
