Pathological Demand Avoidance Mind Map

Just a quick one to share this great diagram on PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) which I came across. A fab resource for teachers, it gives some great ideas on how to approach Sasha in the classroom (but a lot of this applies at home too....!):

Also take a look at www.pdaresource.com if you're interested in learning more - lots of great links on there!

  2. That's really interesting stuff - some of those strategies work so well with my two rather than the 'conventional' ways of working. I shall think on...

    1. Exactly - they would work well with and help most (but not all) children I suspect... the difference is, Sasha really needs handling like this or else she will do nothing!
