Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

Focus: Catholic Life
For: Experienced class teachers, ECTs, HLTAs

Description:

Join us for one of our most requested short courses!

Pathological Demand Avoidance is a specific type of autism that we are increasingly seeing in our mainstream schools.

Discover why traditional techniques commonly used to support autistic pupils won’t work for children with PDA, and what you can do instead to support all pupils to success.

Director’s Note:

So many staff have requested training with PDA – here it is.
