Behaviour and the Brain is a no-nonsense, self-paced online course designed for professionals who support children and young people in any setting.
Grounded in everyday neuroscience, this course helps you cut through the jargon to understand the real link between behaviour and the brain.
You’ll explore evidence-based concepts that shape how you think and act in daily practice—and build a clear, compassionate, and confident toolkit to respond to behaviour with purpose and understanding.
Endorsed by Dr Dean Burnett
We are delighted to have been able to work with the incredible Dr Dean Burnett, experienced neuroscientist and author, to develop our course, Behaviour and the Brain.
Dean is currently an honorary research fellow at Cardiff Psychology School and the author of many books including, the internationally acclaimed, bestselling title, The Idiot Brain.
Course overview
This self-paced course explores the powerful connection between brain development and behaviour, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to interpret behaviour more effectively, and respond with compassion and confidence.
Through five interactive modules, you’ll explore how brain anatomy, brain development, influencing factors, and regulation all shape behaviour, and how your responses and environment can best support the children and young people in your organisation.
