The latest research on PDA (Known as Persistent Drive for Autonomy or Pathological Demand Avoidance) emphasizes clients experiencing PDA-affirming care in all of their environments, prioritizing autonomy, sensory needs, connection and attunement.

We are excited to announce that our expert clinicians are now offering workshops for both parents and school staff! These workshops will help participants recognize and understand PDA, consider how it impacts engagement in daily routines and environments, and learn practical strategies to support regulation while responding with greater confidence and connection.

Interested in exploring these workshop options? Reach out to us Expand Psychology to learn more!

We are proud to share that two of our clinicians, Kirimi Fuller and Hannah Poole, led an in-service training for the Arlington Public Schools social workers and school psychologists on the profile. They covered current research, how PDA can present in school settings, and practical, supportive strategies for working with this neurodiverse population.

The training also highlighted ways to incorporate PDA-informed approaches into IEPs, 504 plans, and classroom practices, helping teams better support student autonomy and success.

If you are interested in learning more about PDA or are looking for a provider who offers PDA-affirming care, reach out to Psychology to connect with one of our specialized clinicians.

We are so grateful to The Center for Alexandria's Children, Inc. for providing our team with the Stewards of Children® training, an evidence-informed program on how to prevent, recognize, and respond to child sexual abuse.

As therapists, many of us work closely with children and families, and continuing to educate ourselves on how to understand the warning signs of child sexual abuse, work to prevent it, and respond safely and effectively is essential to protecting children in our communities.

During our visit, we had the opportunity to tour the The Center for Alexandria's Children, Inc.'s offices and learn more about the vital work they do to prevent and respond to child abuse in our local community and we are honored to have them as a resource.
