This training particularly focusses on the understanding that individuals with Pathological Demand Avoidance 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.

The training will include:
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Training Course:
Strategies for the effective inclusion of learners with PDA: a day course, designed to successfully include learners with PDA and related conditions.

This fun, informative and effective workshop provides each delegate with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the needs of individuals with PDA and provides the skills necessary to create appropriate interventions.

What to expect on the training…
An overview of how the impairments affecting those with Pathological Demand Avoidance (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:
This training is supported by case studies and workshop activities during which each delegate will learn to:
Understand the needs of individuals with PDA and the associated impairments.
Create differentiated, age and level appropriate interventions
Adapt the sensory environment to meet the needs of individuals and groups of individuals.
Create effective behavioural interventions and strategies
