P3- Suggest strategies to minimise effects of challenging behaviour in health and social care settings
“Peter is eight years old and has autism. He has just started attending a special after school club. When he arrives there is music playing and lots of children running about. One of the assistants goes to help him remove his coat and he starts screaming and lashing out”
Point
Evidence
After school clubs
After school clubs would help Peter with his learning and concentration. After school clubs can also boost his knowledge. It can help kids with autism as it can help them get up to the knowledge level as the rest of their classroom friends.
One to one’s
As there would only be the teacher and he, he is more likely to be concentrated and focus better. One to one’s can also build a bond with the teachers; this can build a trust between Peter and the one to one teacher. This way if a teacher asks him to do something he would most likely do it.
Not restraining Peter from screaming
As Peter screams a lot when he is being told what to do, the teachers around him should allow him to scream all he wants as it would only make Peter want to do more bad things.

M2- Discuss strategies used to minimise effects of one type of challenging behaviour in health and social care settings
D1- Evaluate strategies for dealing with one type of challenging behaviour in health and social care settings
Ways in which Peter’s behaviour in the health and social care setting can be minimised is to let him scream whenever he feels the need to. This is because if you were to get in Peter’s way and to try and stop him from screaming etc. it would make him want to do it twice as much, by letting him scream and let his emotions out it makes him more relaxed in the end, which would make him want to settle down more and listen to what is actually happening around him.
