Some people often describe challenging behaviour as:

•  ‘Problem behaviour’
•  ‘Difficult behaviour’ 
• ‘Socially unacceptable behaviour’

But in recent years, the term challenging behaviour reflects the fact that some of the behaviours are a challenge to professionals, teachers, carers and parents.

That means the person showing these behaviours is not a ‘problem’ to be fixed, or someone doing something ‘wrong’, but that the behaviour is a sign that something isn’t working.

PBS believes that behaviour is functional;

• Why the behaviour is occurring. 
• Challenging behaviour always serves a purpose for the individual. 
• The function of their challenging behaviour is to meet an unmet need and to communicate this. 
• Challenging behaviour will depend on who the person is and the situation they are in.
