Understanding Behavior
Helping loved ones manage their emotions, actions, and ways of expressing themselves can be challenging, but families don’t have to do it alone. These OCALI resources are designed to provide practical guidance for understanding behavior, adjusting how you support your loved one, and building a foundation for positive growth.
Here, you will find tools to help you:
- Create predictability and structure, reducing frustration and fostering safety, trust, and empowerment.
- Reflect on routines and communication, so your loved one feels understood and supported.
- Notice and respond to feelings, helping guide positive interactions and relationships.
- Build strong connections, emphasizing the importance of relationships, and positive social experiences.
Several of these resources are part of larger collections, giving you a place to start and explore more when you are ready. Resources will be added as they are developed, offering ongoing ideas and guidance to support your family.
