For parents of children with a PDA profile — what PDA looks like at school, what to say to teachers, and how to ask for a low-demand approach without explaining it from scratch every time.
What's inside
- Why standard autism strategies often backfire with PDA — and what works instead
- The language to use with school that frames PDA as anxiety, not non-compliance
- Specific adjustments that reduce demand in the classroom and at transitions
- How to handle it when the school insists on a "firm boundaries" approach
