Hey everyone,

This week’s episode is inspired by a phrase I use often in thetherapy room… behaviour is communication.

​

We so often focus on stopping the behaviour… but not always on understanding what the behaviour is trying to tell us.

In this episode, I unpack how children, especially those withcommunication difficulties, often use their behaviour to express what they need, feel, want, or cannot yet say with words.

​

Because behaviour usually does not come out of nowhere.

​

I talk about:

💫 Why behaviour is a form of communication

💫 How children may communicate before they have the words

💫…
