Why do you need a BSP?

You may struggle with managing intense:

emotions
sensations
thoughts
find it difficult to express your needs verbally

Challenging Behaviour usually arises when there’s a mismatch between your environment and your ability to navigate it.

It’s also possible that you’ve learned ways to meet your needs that might create safety concerns for yourself or others.

While learning these new behaviours, you need support from people who can respond quickly and safely before situations become overwhelming. They need to intervene early with calm, supportive reactions to prevent unsafe behaviours and be prepared to ensure everyone’s safety if things escalate.
