In this episode Lou discussed PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) with Dr Theresa Kidd and Dr Miriam Kirby. What is PDA? Is it a real diagnosis? Comparing PDA to ODD. Helping families to access the right support if they suspect PDA in their child or have had a recent diagnosis. The discussion then moves to Collaborative Proactive Solutions (CPS) and how this model works for PDAers, how educators are benefiting from CPS in schools when working with PDA students as well as the upcoming visit to WA by Dr Ross Greene!
