This article explores the experience of one family, whose child had Prader-Willi Syndrome and severe behavioural difficulties, and the process undertaken to access specialist training in 'Breakaway' training. Prader-Willi syndrome has been associated with a range of behavioural difficulties including hyperphagia and food preoccupation, temper tantrums, stubbornness, lability, impulsivity, argumentativeness, depression, anxiety and repetitive behaviours. To ensure safety of both the parents and the child, access to training in 'Breakaway techniques' for the carers was procured, at the carers request. This paper concentrates upon the difficulties encountered during this process, both for the family and the professionals involved.
