Resources

This 2 page information sheet provides a summary of PDA helpful approaches for parents and carers.

Autism and the PDA profile are ‘dimensional’ – meaning they vary a lot from one person to another and at different times or with different people – so parents/carers need a ‘toolkit’ of helpful approaches, tailored to each child, applied flexibly and reviewed regularly.

This resource covers:

• The PANDA
• Adjusting your mindset
• Support tips
• Optimising the environment
• Being cautious with rewards/praise/sanctions
• Reducing the perception of demands
