Autism - PDA 2 - Positive and practical strategies
About this session
Do you have an Autistic young person who has difficulties coping with incredibly high anxiety levels?
Is your young person driven by a need to be in complete control at all times?
Is their behaviour extreme and frequently challenging to deal with?
Is everyday different and there just aren’t any strategies that consistently work?Pathological Demand Avoidance is a specific behaviour profile within Autism.
