As I have said before, I am so grateful for all the amazing support I have had for “The Educator’s Experience of Pathological Demand Avoidance'.

It means so much to me whenever someone buys this book, recommends it, leaves amazing reviews (like this one!)

There are numerous reasons why praise can be difficult for someone with a #PDA profile.

• Praise can set up an expectation to repeat or improve a demand.
• Praise can set up an expectation to respond to the praise.
• Praise can put someone on the spot.

We are hosting an event with Dawn Tomalin from Small Talk Speech Therapy on Speech and Language & #PDA , on how Pathological Demand Avoidance affects communication.

A practical session for parents, caregivers, educators, or professionals in the field: eventbrite.co.uk/e/speech-and-l…

As I'm sorting out my photos from a busy March, I'm feeling grateful for all the amazing and positive experiences in spreading understanding and awareness of #PDA and #neurodiversity .

I look forward to everything that comes next!

Children’s needs are being ignored in a cycle of neglect that is happening within “the system” right now.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if children got the support that they needed without a diagnosis or an EHCP because schools were just naturally inclusive?
