Explore practical ways to understand and respond to challenging behavior in this free webinar for family members and caregivers of people with Down syndrome

The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) will host “Navigating Behavior” on Zoom on May 28 from 5 to 6 p.m.

Like everyone else, people with Down syndrome 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.

The presenters are:

  • Timothy Freeman, MD, Center for Developmental Disabilities
  • Thaddeus J. Nestheide, PsyD
  • Bree Stepp, BCBA, COBA
  • Amanda Steel, MA

They will provide practical insights on communication and challenging behaviors.

Parents, families and caregivers will:

  • Explore the many aspects of communication
  • Learn how to unpack challenging behaviors
  • Gain helpful tools and resources to use along the way

The webinar is free and open to parents, families and caregivers of people with Down syndrome.
