People with Down syndrome, like everyone else, use behavior to communicate. When they can’t clearly express their needs, feelings, or discomfort, it may show up as behaviors that interrupt daily routines.

In this free webinar, Thaddeus J. Nestheide, PsyD, Bree Stepp, BCBA, COBA, and Amanda Steel, MA from the Timothy Freeman, MD, Center for Developmental Disabilities will offer parents, families, and caregivers a practical way to understand and respond to challenging behaviors. They will also share helpful tools and resources you can use along the way.
