Date: Tuesday 22 June 2027
Location: Online (Zoom)
Presented by: Christina Keeble
This webinar is designed to build on the understanding of neurodivergence and PDA provided in previous webinars. It will introduce carers to a visual model designed by presenter Christina Keeble that will support families to move beyond the implementation of initial low demand techniques. To support them to answer the question of, “What is next?” and ensure their child or young person doesn’t ‘get stuck’ in an unhelpful space.
The session will:
- Provide carers with the latest, trauma informed, neuro-affirming, relevant research around PDA & relational safety.
- Build on their previous learnings around PDA & Neurodivergence (Autism & ADHD)
- Support carers to understand the importance of being responsive to the PDAers sense of safety in their care and when and how to stretch or extend them outside of their comfort zone to avoid getting stuck in an unhelpful, low demand space as well as how to support them to notice when it’s important to reduce demands and increase support again
- Build the carer’s confidence in supporting the neurodivergent, PDA child or young person in their care
A PDF copy of the slides will be provided to all attendees. There will be time for discussion and Q&A at the end of the presentation.
