Join Bristol Parent Carers and SmallTalk for a supportive session exploring Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

During the session we will explore:


  • What Pathological Demand Avoidance is and why certain everyday tasks can feel overwhelming for your child or young person
  • The typical behaviours linked to PDA, such as avoidance, or sudden emotional shifts and discover subtle signs that often get misunderstood or overlooked.
  • Approaches that tend to work well for children with PDA and understanding how to reduce anxiety and build trust in daily routines.
  • Guidance to support you in handling tricky situations such transitions, school related stress and more.

*This session will be recorded

*Please note, to attend this event you must live in Bristol (your bin will be collected by Bristol City Council) or your child must attend a school in the Bristol city area and you must have a child with Special Educational Needs but they do not need to have a diagnosis.

Bristol Parent Carers

Bristol Parent Carers is a friendly group of volunteer parent carers, caring for children and young people (0-25 years) with Special Educational Needs, and Disabilities (SEND) who live in Bristol. Our expanding group comes from all different backgrounds and communities in Bristol.

We offer support and signposting for families across Bristol to that they receive the right support, at the right time, and in the right way. We also work together with local SEND services across Health, Education and Social Care, in order to shape the experiences that services provide for all families in Bristol. It's really important to share your views with us so that we can use your feedback to ensure local services deliver the kind of support local families expect.
