To help children and adults with severe learning disabilities, who are described as having challenging behaviour, to have the same life opportunities as everyone else, including home life, education, employment and leisure.

The Challenging Behaviour Foundation (CBF) was founded in 1997 by Vivien Cooper, the parent of a child with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. CBF exists to demonstrate that individuals with severe learning disabilities who are described as having challenging behaviour can enjoy normal life opportunities when their behaviour is properly understood and they receive appropriate individualised support. The CBF supports families, professionals and other stakeholders through education, information, research and partnership working to enable this to happen and works strategically to influence national policy and practice.
