	Challenging behaviour is considered a challenge in light of care workers trying to get to the heart of the problem. If <strong>care agents </strong>knew what the problem with their client really was, the behaviour would cease to be a challenge. In this respect, jumping to conclusions or going on a hunch could have potentially devastating outcomes for both patient and care agent. By <strong>learning to understand</strong> what brings on a challenging behaviour scenario, care agents facilitate a process of communication where the patient can effectively express their needs. <strong>Patient needs will vary</strong> dues to their own unique predicaments. Clients can have any number of disabilities which may trigger challenging behaviour scenarios at any given moment. <strong>Social health care agents</strong> will interface on a regular basis with scenarios related to specific conditions such as autism, adhd (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), blindness, deafness, blind &amp; deaf symptoms as well as elderly patients suffering from dementia. These disorders can impact on their communication skills. For Example if your <strong>client base is young people</strong> then it may effect child development. It takes some basic child psychology to explain as disability can impact on learning difficulties. Basically a child throws a tantrum to let parents know that something is wrong, and as the child grows older, these tantrums give way to <strong>more effective communication techniques</strong>. &nbsp;But having protracted learning disabilities stifles this development, and can lead to what is challenging behaviour with older patients which will surface when residing in a <a href="http://www.socialcaretraining.ie/blog-landing.php?id=53" style="font-size:16px; text-align:justify; line-height:125%;">community in care</a>.</p>
