A Teachers Guide to Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA)

The first link is to the NEW PDA Society design of the original 'Teacher's guide to understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome&' leaflet; which was designed for teachers/ other staff in schools to help them learn more about this condition. PDA is increasingly seen as an autistic spectrum condition, but one which requires very different management to that usually recommended for children on the spectrum. Also take a look at the &';Teachers' area of our new website to see other useful information including Autism Education Trust guidelines for supporting a child with PDA.
