SLP 214: Educator's Guide to Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) with Laura Kerbey
Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference. In this episode, we will discuss: ✅ Understand Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA): It's a unique autism type that requires a different approach. ✅ The differences between PDA and ODD. ✅ PDA is often misunderstood – these children want to do well but struggle with demands. ✅ Build relationships through sharing experiences and following their interests. No hierarchies. ✅ Re-evaluate teaching strategies: Traditional autism strategies may not work for PDA students. ✅ Avoid power struggles by giving choices and focusing on natural consequences. ✅ Help manage meltdowns. ✅ Always offer a fresh start after difficulties. ✅ Make requests carefully – share demands and use clear choice language. ✅ Provide structure but allow autonomy within it. Be flexible day-to-day. ✅ For toileting, use subtle language about your own toileting and make it into a game. ✅ Strategies wear out quickly with PDA so keep mixing them up. ✅ Have confidence you can do it – small changes make a big difference!
