In this webinar, Dr Hayley will introduce The Behaviour Checklist – a co-designed, evidence-based checklist for parents and clinicians to routinely monitor common causes of behaviours that challenge in children with moderate-profound intellectual disability and complex needs. Dr Hayley will discuss the development of The Behaviour Checklist and share the underpinning research.
