Aggression in children and teens with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) is often misunderstood—leading to fragmented care and family distress.

Dr. Maude Champagne’s Decoding Aggression is the first clinical resource in Canada to focus on Aggression toward Family/Caregivers in Childhood and. Adolescence (AFCCA)using an integrated model of:
✅ Brain-based differences (e.g., autism, FASD, ADHD)
✅ Early life adversity and trauma
✅ Caregiver well-being and systemic factors

With real-life case studies, accessible frameworks, and step-by-step strategies, this manual empowers clinicians, educators, and allied professionals to respond with knowledge and compassion.

Project Highlight: Inclusive Physical Activity for Kids in Northern BC

Children thrive when they have access to culturally meaningful, inclusive programs—and that’s exactly what the KidsAction and Indigenous dance initiative is all about.

Together with Haida and Nisga’a dance leaders Symbia Barnaby and Dayna Nelson, we're adapting the KidsAction coaching model to support children with disabilities in Indigenous cultural dance programs in Prince Rupert. 🎶🧡

Rooted in community, culture, and collaboration, this project blends Indigenous and Western knowledge to ensure programs are accessible, culturally safe, and responsive to families’ needs—wherever they live.
