Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a complex profile on the autism spectrum that presents unique challenges in everyday life - often misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and deeply impactful for individuals and those around them.
Join us for an in-depth and highly informative webinar with leading PDA expert Phil Christie, co-author of key texts on the subject and one of the UK’s foremost voices in this area. Drawing on decades of experience, Phil will explore how PDA presents, why traditional approaches often fall short, and how to develop effective, compassionate strategies for support.
What you will learn:
- A clear explanation of the PDA profile
- Real-life examples and practical approaches
- Guidance for parents, educators, and professionals
- A chance to better understand and empower PDA individuals
Essential learning for anyone living or working with neurodivergent children or adults.
