Areas in which behavioural therapy could be useful are – classroom behaviour management, peer intervention, parent training, combined behavioural management. All of which help in teaching children socially appropriate behaviours in real life settings.

Usually, inappropriate behaviours are signs that your child is struggling with difficulties in processing sensory information, cognitive deficits, speech delay, anxiety, trauma, learning difficulties or some other neuro-developmental conditions like Autism spectrum disorder, Attention deficit – hyper activity disorder, learning disabilities, sensory processing disorders, etc.

Behavioural therapy helps children to learn new skills, appropriate behaviours and which gradually modify or change maladaptive and inappropriate behaviours. The focus remains to teach then to reward behaviours and thoughts. When it comes to children’s behavioural problems, detecting it early can make a huge impact on your child’s life. Early diagnosis along with proper therapies, environmental restructuring, positive parenting, helps to reduce the symptoms or problem behaviours and improve their overall development.
