Frequently Bought Together

Empower your parenting with the revised edition of Supporting Positive Behavior in Children & Teens with Down Syndrome . Authored by Dr. David Stein, this acclaimed guide is a vital piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants (parents, carers, and educators) in managing complex behaviours.

Behavioural challenges are common in individuals with Down syndrome, often stemming from specific neurodevelopmental profiles rather than "wilfulness." This book moves beyond standard discipline, introducing the "Respond but Don't React" method. It explainswhythe brain of a person with Down syndrome processes the world differently and provides actionable, step-by-step strategies to encourage positive behaviour and independence.

How This Resource Supports NDIS Participants

Building Support Network Capacity: The NDIS prioritizes training for carers. This book equips parents with expert-level knowledge on neuroscience and behaviour management, reducing the need for expensive ongoing clinical consultations.

Reducing Behaviours of Concern: By understanding the root cause of behaviours (e.g., task avoidance, sensory seeking), carers can intervene effectively. This reduces the frequency of outbursts or refusal, fostering a calmer home environment.

Promoting Independence & Employment: Unaddressed behavioural issues can limit future opportunities. This guide focuses on building the social and self-regulation skills required for independent living and entering the workforce in adulthood.

Evidence-Based Strategies: Dr. Stein’s approach is grounded in psychology and specific research into the Down syndrome cognitive profile, ensuring that the strategies are relevant and effective for the participant.
