Behavior is the way we act in response to different situations and/or environments.
All behavior is communication. Modifying challenging behaviors starts with understanding what is being communicated through the behavior.
Behavior is the range of actions that a person has in response to various situations and people. Behavior is a form of communication that is used to express thoughts, emotions, wants, needs, and intentions. Challenging behavior is a pattern of actions that negatively impact the ability to function at school, work, or home.
