I’m delighted and proud that “The Teen’s Guide to PDA” which is illustrated by @_MissingTheMark and published by @JKPBooks was awarded Highly Commended in the #TeachAwards2024 Health and Wellbeing Category. It’s brilliant to see a book on #PDA recognised in a non SEND category!

I am looking forward to running this series of workshops with @expresscic - starting soon!

By offering choices, we can help children and young people with #PDA feel more comfortable and confident.

Join our Face2Face team for this useful information session on Pathological Demand Avoidance (#PDA) and barriers to education with author & public speaker @LauraKerbey This is a ticketed event at £10pp to allow us to fund future information sessions with specialist speakers.

When you work with children with PDA, there are two things to be aware of. First, how anxious is the child feeling? Remember the higher an individual’s anxiety is, the lower their demand tolerance will be, and the lower their anxiety the higher their demand tolerance will be.

Delighted that “The Teen’s Guide to PDA” which is illustrated by @_MissingTheMark and published by @JKPBooks has been shortlisted in the @TeachSecondary awards ☺️

The end of the academic year can be bitter sweet. I know that a lot of the children I support really struggle with school, but also struggle with the long summer holidays. The children I support can struggle with the change of routine. Full post: instagram.com/p/C9h_o6xo0La/
