This online course is for professionals working with adults who identify with the autism profile of PDA, and is suitable for anyone working within adult residential settings or adult social care.

This course is also suitable for PA’s who are employed directly by a family to support and care for a PDA adult either within the family home or another setting.

During the course we will discuss:

• What is PDA?
• Demands
• How PDA can feel
• Helpful approaches
• Good support
• Looking at individual needs
• Collaborative problem solving
• Resources and where to go for help

We're also delighted to confirm that during this session there will be an opportunity to ask questions directly to:

Julia Daunt - Adult PDAer, PDA Society Trainer, Author, Speaker & Blogger (Me, Myself and PDA - https://memyselfandpda.com/)

We welcome questions and contributions from delegates throughout the course and encourage active participation in plenary discussions. For this reason the session will not be recorded to ensure delegate/client confidentiality.
