What is PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)❓

Knowledge around PDA is growing, however it is a widely misunderstood presentation. PDA is most commonly seen as a profile within Autism and is characterised by avoidance of demands, even if those demands are things that the individual wants to do. This is because demands cause an anxiety response simply because they are demands, not necessarily because of what the task is. Because of this, we need to adapt how we present demands, or remove them altogether. The “PANDA” approach (developed by the PDA society) is a great tool to begin exploring this. Working with PDAers is something that requires collaboration with the individual, their parents/guardians, and teachers.

You can speak with your OT if this is something you think you may need to explore.

💭 Mental Health Training

Over the January school holidays, Nicola completed a mental health professional development course which covered a range of topics including assessment and therapeutic interventions. Here’s what she had to say about the training:

“Mental health is a real passion area of mine so it was great to dive deeper into developing my skills in this area! I’m looking forward to applying new skills with the children and families I work with, and also working with the team to develop our approaches in this area!”

🎨 Paired Sessions

The Holidays can be a great time to do some paired sessions, to work on specific skills with a peer and OT support. This holidays, two of our friends got together to develop their social navigation through cooking and craft!
Check out their creation below!

This January, our OT Mel ran the Skills For School Group!

This group focuses on preparing young students for their first year at school. The kids were able to learn all about different skills including being a good listener, how to join into a game, how to ask for help as well as working on those fine motor skills of cutting and drawing! All the while enjoying meeting new people, working together and of course, movement breaks.

This group runs regularly, so if you have a child that will be starting prep in 2027, keep an eye out for it!
