 2024 Managing Pediatric Behaviors: Yours, Theirs, and Ours
All children exhibit behaviors that are not always desirable or socially appropriate. When a child has a disability or condition, they routinely receive specialized therapy to support their development and participation in daily routines. The activities expected of a child during this care are oftentimes difficult or demanding, so an increase in challenging behaviors can be expected. This course will focus on how to identify and manage these behavioral reactions and responses when they occur during routine healthcare.
