Parent Support Meeting 2025: Understanding and Supporting Challenging Behaviours at Home Through Inclusive Practice

Supporting children with diverse learning, emotional, and developmental needs requires strong collaboration between schools, families, and inclusion professionals. Across the UAE and globally, there is growing recognition that educational wellbeing, neurodiversity awareness, and evidence-based parent support are essential components of inclusive education. Events such as the Parent Support Meeting – Understanding and Supporting Challenging Behaviors at Home, held on Thursday 30 October 2025 in partnership withThe Butterfly Center, are helping families and practitioners better understand how to create supportive and accessible environments for People of Determination.

Incluzun was proud to present at the event on inclusive practices, sharing practical strategies and evidence-based approaches that strengthen school inclusion, emotional regulation, family wellbeing, and personalised support for children with diverse learning profiles. The event brought together parents, educators, therapists, and inclusion specialists to explore how collaborative intervention models can improve outcomes both at home and within inclusive schools.

Inclusive Education and Understanding Challenging Behaviours

One of the key themes throughout the event was the importance of understanding behaviour through a neurodiversity-informed and strengths-based lens. Speakers discussed how behaviours often communicate unmet needs related to communication, sensory regulation, anxiety, accessibility barriers, or learning differences.

Sessions focused on evidence-based practice in SEND support, differentiated learning, emotional wellbeing, and positive behaviour support strategies. Experts highlighted how inclusive education environments can reduce stress and improve participation by adapting teaching methods, communication systems, and routines to meet individual learner needs.

The event also explored how assistive technology and AI in education are increasingly supporting emotional regulation, communication development, and personalized learning pathways for neurodivergent students and People of Determination. These educational innovations are helping schools and families create more accessible and responsive support systems aligned with UAE inclusion priorities and international best practice.

Importantly, discussions reinforced that behaviour support must focus on dignity, emotional safety, and long-term wellbeing rather than punishment-based approaches.

Supporting Schools, Practitioners, Families, and People of Determination

The Parent Support Meeting highlighted the importance of consistent collaboration between schools, practitioners, and families in creating inclusive and emotionally supportive environments.

For schools and educators, the event provided valuable insight into teacher training, school inclusion strategies, classroom accessibility, and differentiated learning approaches that support emotional wellbeing and reduce behavioural challenges. Practitioners explored how evidence-informed interventions can improve engagement, communication, and participation for students with SEND and neurodiverse learning profiles.

Families benefited from practical parent support strategies focused on emotional regulation, communication, routine building, and positive reinforcement at home. The sessions created opportunities for parents to better understand their child’s needs while strengthening confidence in advocating for inclusive support.

The event also reinforced the importance of empowering People of Determination through strengths-based approaches that encourage independence, participation, and long-term wellbeing.
