Challenging Behaviour in Schools for Pupils with Severe and Profound General Learning Disabilities
Keywords:
Challenging Behaviour, Student Behaviour, Severe and Profound General Learning Disabilities, SPGLD, School Policy, StrategiesAbstract
Challenging behaviour has always been a difficult issue for schools and teachers. Pupils themselves are often too readily blamed for such behaviour when, in fact, a well-developed school policy could play a major role in preventing and diminishing some of this behaviour. A number of strategies are known to be effective in managing the challenging behaviour of pupils with severe and profound general learning disabilities.
