The PDA Society is the only specialist PDA charity in the UK. Our goal is to try and make life better for PDA people and their families because we believe that happy, autonomous lives are possible. Our strong commitment to research underpins every step we take towards improving understanding, support and outcomes for PDA people in the future.

1. Raising awareness: We provide high quality, trustworthy information and resources about PDA.
2. Creating training: We deliver training and events to support PDAers, parents and professionals to help them understand helpful approaches and to build safe, supportive connections.
3. Providing support: We offer tailored support to PDA people and their families through our support service, which is entirely staffed by PDA people or their carers.
4. Influencing change: We work with our community to drive positive change for PDA people in research, policy and practice.
