PDAers around the world
As part of PDA Action Week 2026, we worked alongside PDA North America and other organisations across the world to show something simple and powerful:
PDAers are everywhere. You are not alone. You belong.
About the PDA map
With your help, we created an interactive world map that is a collective way to say “We see you” to PDAers, families, and communities across the globe. It is continually updated with the information you share with us – we invite you to add your name, alias and location to create a pin on the map today.
Each pin represents lived experience, connection, and visibility. Thank you for being part of this worldwide moment of recognition and solidarity.
How to add your pin to the map
If you are a PDAer or parent carer of a PDAer, you can fill out your information on the quick form linked below and your pin will appear automatically on the map.
Only the information you choose to share will appear publicly (we will ask for your email, but this information won’t be shared). For questions about how your information is used or to delete your data you can get in touch at info@pdanorthamerica.org.
Your information and privacy
We collect the information in this form with your consent so we can add to the PDA Day Map and celebrate the global PDA community.
PDA North America is the data controller for this project. If you have any questions about how your information is used, you can contact us at info@pdanorthamerica.org
We store your information securely, and only the small team working directly on this project will have access to it. Your data will not be shared with anyone else.
You can ask us to update or delete your information at any time, and you can withdraw your consent whenever you wish. You also have the right to access your data and to raise a concern with the ICO if you are unhappy with how your information is handled.
We will keep your information only for as long as it is needed for this project and its related activities, after which it will be securely deleted.
