There's still a few spaces left on our two-part training course for parents & carers. You can book or view alternative dates on our website: https://ow.ly/OfwW50QOOph

This training is an opportunity to learn more about helpful approaches for PDA children, and to hear about other parent's experience. We welcome you to join us, whether or not your child has a formal diagnosis.

If you've already attended our parent carer training, we'd love to know what you found helpful in the comments.

This is a gentle reminder that our free enquiry line is always there for you when you need it, whether you are:

- Considering whether a PDA profile feels right for you or your child, and would benefit from further information
- Finding it difficult to access support for yourself or a PDA adult or child that you care for
- Supporting PDA people professionally and seeking further guidance and resources

Our enquiry line is staffed by trained individuals with a personal connection to PDA, and can be reached through our website: https://ow.ly/bhCh50QrPWx

It is also estimated that 52% of children diagnosed with Dyslexia also show symptoms of Dyspraxia…

Join us on March 21st @ 7pm CST with Dr. Alex Klein as he explores the underlying challenges many PDAers experience, the capacity of the parent/caregiver, and the goal of finding the right balance for your family. We will discuss the concept of "hidden disabilities" and finding the "just-right challenge" when parenting PDAers and other neurodivergent children who have a critical need for control and a highly sensitive stress response system. Finally, we will investigate barriers to a low demand parenting approach and ways to promote more emotional regulation in the family.

The subtle paradox.

For the PDA child, it is most helpful to offer choice, while avoiding asking them to choose.

What does this mean?

It means being open to flexibility and change.

It means offering consistent openness and receptiveness to dynamic, evolving, fluctuating needs that are driven by a constantly shifting nervous system response, highly attuned to the ever changing landscape of life.

Choice is the offering with love, and without condition.

Asking them to choose is the condition.

Choice is saying "Yep, I got you..", and refraining from expecting them to choose is the "Yeah, I'm serious. I'm here, I'm committed and you are not obligated to take me up on my offerings."

It is absence of demand attached to the offer.

Unconditional.

Safety.
