Capacity Before Behavior

During transitions, behavior often becomes more noticeable—but what we’re seeing isn’t always behavior. It’s often a change in capacity. In this video, we shift the lens from reacting to behavior to understanding what’s happening underneath. You’ll learn what capacity means, how it impacts emotional regulation and daily functioning, and why transitions can make everything feel harder. We also walk through practical ways to support individuals by reducing demands, using visuals, and adjusting expectations.
