This publication will help all service providers to ensure that disabled children and young people with additional support needs can access services and lead a life as part of their local community, focusing on children who have behaviour that challenges as a result of either a severe learning disability and/or autism.

Drawing on and including examples of good practice from across the country, Making it work for children with behaviour that challenges illustrates the ways in which all agencies can work together to develop local policies and procedures to ensure that the needs of this group of children are met in a coordinated and child-centred way.

Making it work for children with behaviour that challenges is one of two companion publications detailing good practice in both inclusive and specialist settings across education, health, social care and leisure.
