Employment service providers in Delaware were surveyed regarding clients' challenging behaviors. Survey respondents described different behaviors they encounter in a client's workplace and how they go about understanding, measuring and responding to the behavior. Respondents shared their beliefs about their capacity to support people with challenging behaviors in an employment setting. The results of the survey and preliminary conclusions and next steps will be described.
