This accredited one-day course on Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is designed for professionals who want to gain a deeper understanding of PDA diagnosis and how schools and settings can best support children and young people.
Fully interactive
The course covers reasonable adjustments that settings can adopt to ensure young people with PDA can thrive, and is fully interactive, with resources designed to help you write support plans.
The course explores the complexity of the condition and its variations and discusses the most up-to-date research and how it can be used on a day-to-day basis with people displaying PDA features.
The ‘team around the pupil’
Professionals often struggle with supporting pupils with PDA due to a lack of understanding about how the condition presents, and how others around the young person behave towards them.
This course looks into the ‘team around the pupil’ and how to co-operate with each other for a more joined-up approach, which is key to success.
This course comes with a Resource Booklet, which can be adapted to help support a pupil with PDA or suspected PDA and will cover their journey through school, college and beyond! You will be able to use this pack every time you work with a child with PDA or suspected PDA.
This course is delivered on a regular basis online via Zoom with a specialist teacher, and can also be arranged to be delivered to you and your colleagues in person or online, by contacting us directly.
This training is accredited, so you will be able to use the certification of this training on your curriculum vitae.
