To add to Keith's point about challenging behaviour - could I add three more potential definitions of challenging behaviour: - a resistant act to disabling and oppressive institutions - a social construction created by a whole host of specialist professions - particularly psychology - a phenomenon that has kept a lot of professionals and academics in work Has always struck me how people with learning difficulties are not allowed to be 'bad' (whatever that means) without it being given a label of challenging behaviour. all the best Dan Goodley Dr Dan Goodley Inclusive Education and Equality Research Centre University of Sheffield School of Education 388 Glossop Road Sheffield S10 2JA Work email: [log in to unmask] Home email: [log in to unmask] Tel: +44 (0)114 222 8125 Fax: +44 (0)114 279 6236 **NEW RESEARCH PROJECT** Parents, Professionals and Disabled Babies: Identifying Enabling Care http://www.shef.ac.uk/inclusive-education/disabledbabies/ ________________End of message______________________ Archives and tools for the Disability-Research Discussion List are now located at: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research.html You can JOIN or LEAVE the list from this web page.
