What Is Behaviour Therapy for Children?

Behaviour therapy helps identify why a behaviour is happening and teaches safer, more helpful skills to replace it. Many challenging behaviours are a child’s way of communicating—especially when big emotions, sensory overload, anxiety, or changes in routine feel overwhelming.

At daar in Liverpool, behaviour therapy may support your child to:

  • Communicate needs more effectively (help, break, choice, space)
  • Manage frustration and emotional outbursts
  • Build flexibility with change and transitions
  • Improve independence with everyday routines
  • Participate more confidently at school and in social settings
