Challenging behaviour can show up for a whole bunch of reasons. Sometimes it’s linked to learning disabilities, other times it can be connected to dementia, and in some cases there may be a history of abuse involved. When you understand how important good communication and the right support are, it can really make a difference to someone’s day to day quality of life.
