Challenging Behaviour Foundation
A key aim of the CBF is to make sure families get the practical information they need. The National Lottery Community Fund has enabled the Foundation to develop a new website as part of their 3 year ‘Getting it Right’ project. The new site is easier to access on phones and tablets, as well as laptops, and is more user-friendly.
Visit the new website at the same web address: www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk
The CBF aims to improve the life opportunities and quality of life for children, young people and adults with severe learning disabilities and their families. They do that by providing information, sharing video guides, offering telephone, email and casework support for family carers, and running workshops. The new website means they can offer families and professionals improved access to their information and resources and help make it easier for everyone to champion rights, raise awareness and promote and share best practice.
The new site includes new resources, including up-to-date information sheets and video clips filmed by family carers. Please browse www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk for news, opinion, information, resources, opportunities, and support.

Signed yoga videos for deaf children
There are three fantastic yoga videos Squish the Fish, On the Farm, and Betsy the Banana. They’re aimed at 3 to 5 year olds and each video is British Sign Language (BSL) interpreted.
With fun, easy-to-follow steps your deaf child can learn simple poses, improve their balance and coordination, and become more flexible. It’ll help your child learn to follow instructions and improve their concentration. As they make progress, their confidence is sure to grow.
