SUMMARY:Demand Avoidance in Autism - Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Integrating research with compassionate practice \nDemand Avoidance-sometimes described as a PDA profile-is a growing topic of interest for clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of the diversity of experiences within the autism spectrum. \nRather than viewing these behaviours as oppositional or problematic\, this workshop invites participants to consider demand avoidance as a way to communicate a need for autonomy and reduce distress. \nRegister Now\nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nExplore the relationship between Autism and PDA\nRecognize key features often associated with the PDA profile\nLearn strategies to support clients who experience difficulty with everyday demands\nReview current and emerging research related to demand avoidance\nBecome familiar with relevant resources that inform compassionate and collaborative practice\n\nWhile PDA remains a topic of debate\, this workshop does not seek to take a position\, but rather to inform participants about the varied perspectives and emerging research\, encouraging reflection on how these insights can guide supportive and ethical practice.
