OT assessments and PDA children

Welcome to the PDA Society’s podcast, where we explore all things PDA to help make life easier for PDAers, their families, and everyone affected by demand avoidance. Research suggests PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) is a profile of autism, meaning individuals share similar strengths and challenges. A key feature of PDA is extreme demand avoidance – finding it hard or impossible to complete everyday tasks, even those they want to do. PDAers often use social strategies to manage demands, form deep connections with safe people, and experience strong emotions. Join us as we dive into PDA together!If any of the issues in today’s podcast affected you or you’d like to learn more, please visit our website for help and information on: <a href="https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/">www.pdasociety.org.uk</a>
