PDA: Pathways to Discovery and Achievement – Supporting PDA Learners

Empowering PDA Learners with Understanding, Flexibility and Effective Support

Supporting a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) in their learning journey can feel overwhelming – whether in a school setting, at home or through alternative education pathways. This webinar will focus on how to nurture engagement, build confidence and create an environment where PDA learners can truly thrive.

What we will focus on:

✅ The unique learning profile of PDA and why traditional approaches often fail
✅ How demand avoidance affects learning and engagement
✅ The importance of relationship-based, flexible and interest-led learning
✅ Strategies for reducing anxiety and increasing autonomy in educational settings
✅ How to advocate for EHCP support, school accommodations or alternative education options

This session is designed for parents, caregivers, educators and professionals looking for practical, compassionate and effective ways to support PDA learners in achieving success – on their own terms.
