Jenny Nock Webinar - Pathologic Demand Avoidance and school
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is increasingly, but not entirely, accepted as a behaviour profile that is seen in some people on the autistic spectrum affecting all areas of development. PDA is a complex, challenging, and misunderstood condition that is often ignored or not even recognised by many professionals.
It can be difficult for educators to understand how best to support pupils with PDA, because traditional management techniques such as structure, routine and rewards that often work for pupils with other autism profiles are generally ineffective. The correct support and understanding in school also reduce the pressure on teachers and staff.
On this workshop, delegates will learn about what PDA is, the core characteristics of PDA and developing strategies and interventions for children and young people with PDA. We shall also explore the interface between PDA and developmental trauma, as children with attachment difficulties show many similarities to those with PDA.
There will be trainer input, with time built in for offline reflection, activities and Q&A.
