Duchenne Australia Webinar Series: Behaviour in Duchenne
February - April, 2026
Explore our webinar recordings created to support families, professionals, and communities navigating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Ran in partnership with Duchenne Australia, this 4-part series shares practical guidance on understanding Duchenne, behaviour, and function.
Webinar 1
This introductory session provides a comprehensive overview of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), with a focus on how it can impact behaviour, energy levels, and day-to-day functioning. We explore the connection between physical changes, fatigue, and behavioural responses, helping to reframe behaviours in a more understanding and supportive way. This webinar is ideal for families, educators, and professionals at any stage of the Duchenne journey, offering both foundational knowledge and practical insights to support young people more effectively.
Webinar 2
In this session, we take a closer look at how Duchenne affects the brain, and what this means for behaviour, learning, and emotional wellbeing. We discuss common co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, attention difficulties, and other neurodevelopmental considerations, and how these may present in everyday life. By understanding the neurological underpinnings of behaviour, this webinar helps families and professionals move beyond surface-level interpretations and respond with greater empathy and clarity.
Webinar 3
In this session, we explore behaviour in Duchenne and what it can look like in everyday life for children and families. We discuss practical, real-world strategies to support emotional regulation, communication, and daily routines, as well as how to respond to common challenges with confidence and consistency. By focusing on supportive, strengths-based approaches, this webinar aims to help families and professionals feel better equipped to navigate behaviour with understanding, flexibility, and care.
Webinar 4
In this session, we take a step back to explore the bigger picture of supporting individuals with Duchenne. We focus on the importance of collaboration between families, schools, healthcare providers, and support teams, and how working together can lead to more consistent and effective care. We discuss what meaningful, person-centred support looks like in practice, and how to build strong communication and shared understanding across systems. This webinar aims to empower families and professionals to create cohesive support networks that truly work.
