Overview

Friday 7th November 2025, 9.30am – 1pm (GMT)

This CPD-accredited course is designed for professionals in social care and respite settings who support PDA young people and adults—whether formally diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring the profile. It will also benefit parents and carers seeking deeper understanding.

The session will cover:

  • Understanding PDA, demands, and their effects

  • Distressed behaviours and underlying causes

  • Flexible, practical approaches for support

  • Strategies for teenagers, adults, and inclusive practice

The course includes time for questions, reflection, and sharing. Participants will gain clearer insight into PDA in everyday life, along with practical ideas to support those they care for.
