Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA) Training

This training particularly focuses on the understanding that individuals with these conditions may communicate/present differently to neurotypical learners but can still achieve their potential with the implementation of appropriate interventions.

Essentially, I want colleagues to see through the eyes of the learners as well as having the strategies.

What to expect on the Course…

An overview of how the impairments affecting those with PDA may cause difficulties (What is PDA? The key features of PDA).
Meeting the needs of those with PDA. Some interactive activities and simple and effective strategies designed to meet a range of needs based on the impairments.
Strategies and interventions for adapting the sensory environment to meet the behavioural needs of individuals with PDA.
Why individuals with PDA need Visual Interventions and how they can benefit from them.
How to create a range of differentiated age and level appropriate Visual Interventions for individuals with PDA
An investigation into the type of language and presentation suitable for the needs of individuals with PDA.
Promoting positive behaviour through effective practice

Course Outcomes

Each delegate will learn to:

Understand the needs of individuals with PDA and the associated impairments.
