This paper is divided to three parts. Part 1 will be a starting point a

guide towards better understanding of the behaviour that is often considered

challenging by parents and teachers. It also will show how to identify the

function of a specific behaviour. Part 2 will discuss the environmental factors

that can trigger challenging behaviour and the different situations where the

behaviour is more likely to occur. It is divided to three parts: the sensory

environment, the learning environment, and the social and communication

environment. Finally, in Part 3, some strategies will suggest how to create an

autism-friendly environment that removes unnecessary barriers, meets the

child’s unique needs and supports his learning in a welcoming and supportive

environment.
