Services for Professionals

Our PDA Kids provides professional development to allied health practitioners and educators.

With the rise in identification of PDA in Australia, parents and professionals alike seek to increase their understanding and skills in working with children with PDA, and their families.

Our PDA Kids offers custom training to organisations interested in acquiring greater knowledge of PDA, and how to work with the clients they support, and their families, more effectively.

An example of information covered would be:

  • What is PDA
  • History of PDA
  • What is a demand and types of demands
  • Recognising demands in how we provide services
  • Managing, disguising and reducing demands
  • Expressions of PDA, not “challenging behaviour”
  • Declarative language
  • The nervous system functionality of a PDA child
  • Control and trust
  • Optimising the environment
  • Adjusting your mindset
  • Maintaining relationships
  • Praise and rewards
  • Autonomy vs Boundaries
  • PDA burnout
  • Parental involvement
