Demands are an integral, unavoidable part of everyday life. But for some children, young people and adults, demands of any kind can instigate overwhelming feelings of anxiety, distress and panic. Demand avoidant behaviour can impact home life, and parents and carers may need additional support from us.

This handy support guide can be shared with parents and carers, and has 8 suggestions for reducing demands and creating low-demand environments at home. These can then be tailored to meet individual need.
