Transforming our understanding of challenging behaviours in autistic individuals to behaviours that challenge Part 2

Do you know your rights and responsibilities when considering medicating your child?

When a child has behaviours that challenge us, we need a fuller understanding of the role of medication and what to consider.

Desirae Pillay spoke to Claire Allen, a seasoned voice, and an educational specialist, in the autistic community, about how parents should approach the discussion about medication for behaviours.

Please note Claire is not a medical professional, and this podcast discussion is only to empower parents with tools so that they can have an informed discussion about medication and behaviour.

In Part 1 Claire redefines “challenging behaviour” to “behaviour that challenges”.
In Part 2, Desirae and Claire discuss the topic of medication and behaviours.
Part 3 is a lively discussion about schooling for a person who has behaviours that challenge the school.
