what matters most topeoples safety...
.is the extent and quality of their relationships.People are safer the more others care enough
about their safety and well being to keep a closeeye on their situation, to stand up to difficultsituations with them, to act imaginatively in
response to their vulnerabilities, to negotiate on
their behalf with others who control importantopportunities, and to struggle with them oversituations in which they are contributing to theirown problems. Many people with developmental
disabilities are more vulnerable exactly becausethey lack opportunities and assistance to makeand keep good relationships.

This workshop is based upon a simpleidea:
difficult behaviors result from unmetneeds. In a sense, a persons difficult
behaviors are messages which can tell usimportant things about a person and thequality of his or her life. People withdifficult behaviors are often missing:
Meaningful relationships A sense of safety and well-being
Power Joy (things to look forward to) Relevant skills and knowledge.
A sense of value and self-worthDavid Pitonyak

These needs are often minimized orignored and as a result, people may
become:
Relationship resistant
Chronic rule-breakers Helpless and insecure Depressed and isolated

Supporting a person with difficultbehaviors requires us to get to know the
person as a complicated human beinginfluenced by a complex personalhistory.
While it is tempting to look for a quickfix, which usually means attacking theperson and his or her behavior,suppressing behaviour withoutunderstanding something about the lifehe or she is living is disrespectful andcounterproductive.
Difficult behaviors are a reflection ofunmet needs. They are meaning-full.Our challenge is to find out what the
person needs so that wecan be moresupportive.David Pitonyak
