LEARNING TOGETHER. A relational model of support using Applied Video Analysis to support relationship development Our Assumptions:** Behaviour change starts with the caregiver ** People are doing the best they can – behaviour problems are responses to unmet needs ** People with ‘special needs’ have the same needs as everyone else – the need to be loved and to feel loved, to feel a sense of belonging and to have a sense of control over one’s own life project ** The caregiving relationship is based on unconditional love, empathy and authenticity ** Compliance is a by-product of loving relationships and is not a learned ‘skill’.** Conflict resolution is an ongoing teaching-learning process that evolves and changes over time
