This webinar will help parents and carers deepen their understanding of PDA and explore practical strategies. Lenora Borsje who is an experienced PDA trainer will lead this webinar. You will gain knowledge of the PDA profile and its characteristics, insights into the underlying anxiety and need for autonomy, approaches that promote collaboration and reduce conflict at home, and practical tools for communication, flexibility, and problem‑solving.
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) can be one of the most complex and misunderstood profiles within the autism spectrum. For parents and carers, everyday situations can easily become sources of tension and distress. Understanding why this happens and how to respond in supportive ways can make a world of difference to both the child and the family.
This guide offers an opportunity to gain deeper insight into the PDA profile and its unique characteristics. Together, we will explore what drives demand avoidance, the role of anxiety, and the importance of autonomy in everyday life.
Through theory, real‑life examples, and practical tools, we discover approaches that nurture collaboration, reduce conflict, and build trust at home, so that you’ll feel more confident in using flexible communication strategies, encouraging problem‑solving, and creating an environment where your child feels understood and valued.
